How long does EPEC take?
How long does EPEC take?
Hello,
I applied for the EPEC on June 10th. On June 11th, I was sent an email to submit certain papers online and I did. Since then, I have not heard anything. I check online and my status is still pending.
I sent an email a week ago and I still haven't heard anything?
How long does it take to receive an approval or denial? Is there any other course of action that I can take? Please advise.

You already have your response. Pending. How long is a piece of string? Are you sitting at home holding your breath? If so, stop. Breath. Get along with your life. If and when there's a decision made, they will notify you. As pointed out on another thread, the are currently overload due to people trying to take advantage of the system before the doors are closed tight.athard wrote:Any recommendation on what I can do then? I applied on June 10th and am still on pending. I sent an email to them and no response yet.

How can you compare your application with others ? No two application will be the same . Even you have the same degree or masters or whatever. Moreover every application is assessed on its own merit.athard wrote:I forgot to mention, I have already called and left several messages. I have even emailed them several times. I was just wondering what the timeline is because their emails to me initially said four days. Also, I did some research and many people have received approval in 2-3 days.
The reply from MOM is more of a guideline albeit timeframe.
Have you gone down personally to see MOM yourself ?

Which bit of 'Standard processing time is four-five weeks' is eluding you?
