Important to Know:
- The processing time does not start from the date you submitted your application. Instead, it starts from the day when all your supporting documents, including the official academic records (transcripts) have been reviewed and accepted for assessment
- While we make every effort to provide assessments in a timely manner, each individual application is unique, and some take longer than others to complete
- Physical official academic records (transcripts) require digitization and may take up to three weeks to be processed and matched to your application. This process does not affect your processing time
