Hello everyone, please I need urgent clarification on this.

If I request for ECA on 2 degrees, will the report be prepared, issued and uploaded on EE / sent to IRCC:
(1) only after the two assessments are completed, meaning either can delay the other, OR
(2) issued as they are completed irrespective of time?

I am asking because I am in a fix:
I had my BSc in Nigeria and MSc in UK. I would have preferred to have both ECAs for future use by prospective employers and professional bodies in Canada - thinking of cost of doing only the BSc later. I am also in a hurry to get into the EE pool, so dont want any delays. I understand with the ECA for MSc only, can get the required points.

Thanks in advance!

@esosa4real Thank you

Hello Everyone,

I'm really new here about just about to start the process. I have a M.sc, NOC A, 5 years experience, 30yrs, single,
From the CIC site, I understand that to apply I'd have to follow these processes: is this the right order?

1. Write IELTS
2. Send certificates/transcript for ECA
3. Do LMIA
4. Apply to be entered into pool

JESUnifemi4eva:
Hi Joesgirl,

1) it's best to apply for ECA and write IELTS concurrently (you don't have to wait for your IELTS RESULT before starting the ECA process).

2) You don't require LMIA....you are still young and have a Masters degree, if your IELTS result is really good, it will help get a CRS score that ought to help you get an ITA directly. (use the CRS calculator to give you a rough idea of your CRS score and compare it to recent cut-off marks, I believe the last one was 434)

3) Apply to enter the pool.

Shikena!

joesgirl:
Thanks Jesunifemi; so i don't have to register on the CIC site till I have the IELTS result and ECA

JESUnifemi4eva:
I would advise you to get your ECA for your masters and enter the pool before CRS Cut-off increases.

Your evaluation will only be termed complete when your BSc result is sent from Nigeria i.e. if you decide to evaluate the two.

The ECA that you will pay for is for immigration purposes (if you decide to use WES); when you get to Canada, your prospective employer will conduct their own background check...so please take it one step at a time...

Cheers!

Application has begun yet some of these concerns doesn't seem to have been addressed properly. Like 40Man rightly raised above.

Actually performing the real application I think will reveal most of the 'not so clear' requirements to qualify for the scheme.

Use iqas, they are pretty fast
Thanks

Hello! NOI yet? or they closed?

40manlappy:


NOI yet. I don't think anyone has announced receiving it in the last one week on this forum.

@all: Ideas anyone? Have they met their quota for 2017?

Any useful information would be appreciated.

Chinnie4Jesus:
Hi guys, please I would like to find out if an accompanying spouse's NOC matters? Is it expected to also fall under 0, A or B especially if the person intends to work in Canada. By the way, it looks like the gurus have gone silent here. Pls we still need you guys.

olajide21:
Hello peeps. Just to reconfirm. I am using WES for my ECA for 2 degrees in the same school. Below are my questions:
1. Can both degrees transcript be in a single envelope rather than individual envelopes.? Would WES accept this?
2. Is the photocopy of my certificates the only documents that I would send to WES while the school send the transcript?

temitope06:


If you're claiming points for it, then it matters if not it doesn't.

Chinnie4Jesus:
. Wow!! I thought what was relevant would be the IELTS and the ECA? Please could you throw more light on this because as the accompanying spouse, I ddnt bother with the whole reference letter thing. I assumed it was just for my husband who is the principal applicant.

temitope06:


It ain't relevant, only your hubby's NOC is important.

Chinnie4Jesus:
Thanks

molly14:
Good day all,

Pls after receiving ITA is it necessary to rewrite ietls if the test expires? Or can 1 submit the forms a month to when d test will expire. Or will sm1 have to rewrite even after submitting

temitope06:


When submitting your application, your IELTS must still be valid. That's all. If you submit on Monday, your ielts can expire on Tuesday, doesn't matter as long as it was still valid when you submitted.

esosa4real:


Oh nice!! I am about doing same. I submitted app on March 2nd. I plan to get married by first week of April and wanna know how you informed CIC. Was it by CSE link? I hear that it takes up to a month before they reply that link, I don't know how true.

I guess when you say request letter, you mean you wrote a letter just like LOE to address your marital status right??

And again, how long did it take before they replied you!!

Lastly, did ur wife do all dem medicals and pcc after the wedding or before?

I just wanna be practive with the process and will be glad to hear from you in detail if you can.

Godbless.

boldinc:
There's no news on their website about a break or quota reached...

Maybe a glitch in the system or an intentional pause.

BlessedFellow01:



Good luck! Let me know after you get the offer and when you start planning to come.

BlessedFellow01:


Congratulations Boss! Don't be skeptical. You can write a very good LOE telling the VO the need for taking the program and it won't be a problem.

Did you apply for M.Eng or MSc Eng? Yeah! I am currently in UNB.
