blueQueen:

Thanks for the speedy reply...OK..on to IELTS...will update you guys...what about my ECA? do I start to process that immediately? Can you give me a website for that?
Thanks already.

ferdimako:

Okay..good one. I love ur fighting spirit. Well, I can't be authoritative as I'm not a staffer of CIC. Either they place preference on overall points or specific item is my guess. So it can only delay one's look-in.

azeezbaba:


Baba, could you please interpret this information I found on cic website.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/#mi13

excerpts from the above link

Ministerial Instructions 13 (MI13): Processing of new and existing applications for temporary residence and permanent residence
Ministerial Instructions have been issued in order to assist in the prevention of the transmission and spread of the Ebola outbreak.

Effective October 31, 2014, CIC will not process any new permanent resident or temporary resident applications and will stop processing existing temporary resident applications for which a final decision has not been made if the applicant has recently been in an Ebola-affected country.

For pending permanent resident applications, visas will not be issued unless the officer is satisfied the applicant has not been in an Ebola-affected country within the three months prior to finalization.

These measures are temporary to protect the health and safety of Canadians, and until further notice.

ANBAKO:


There are 3 organizations that can do ECA.
CES - http://learn.utoronto.ca/international-professionals/comparative-education-service-ces/immigration

ICAS - http://www.icascanada.ca/fsw/home.aspx

WES -http://www.wes.org/ca/fswp/

Read through their websites to see their various conditions and choose anyone that favours you. I used CES because of their favourabke condition. I think most people use WEs. For ielts don't forget that you need to write general test and not academic test. Start your educational evaluation immediately.

Meritl:




CIC will not process new permanent resident visa applications made by foreign nationals who have been in an Ebola affected country (which includes having resided, travelled or transited) within three months prior to the date the application is received by CIC.

These Instructions do not apply to applications from foreign nationals with valid temporary resident status applying for permanent residence while in Canada.

In order for an officer to issue an approval (final positive decision) of a pending permanent residence visa application, the officer must be satisfied that the applicant has not been in an Ebola affected country (which includes having resided, travelled or transited) in the three-month period prior to the issuance of a visa or other document under section 11 of IRPA.

ferdiii:

How did u know? Ur NOC and points?

damkollins:

If it's actually completed,you should have been notified that its been prepared for delivery to your address.
Meanwhile ,you should also be able to view the unofficial version of your ECA report.
Have you paid for delivery of the result ?....what is the summary of what you paid during registration ?
For now ,no need to order new report or upgrade report.
Cheers

Mailing label is simply typing your full name and address/postal address on a MS word document and dropping it in your application package. This is usually used in case an application needs to be returned (God forbid) to the applicant. You are required to add 2 mailing labels in your application.
