Anyway, we do not evaluate our credentials through WES. its done through mcc Canada. Check out their site for info. www.mcc.ca
Thus far, i have gathered the following info as regards an MBBS ECA.
1)open an account on www.physiciansapply.ca a $278 non-refundable fee is charged.
2)request for a source verification (svr) of your qualification on the physicians apply site (this is done through ECFMG). It costs $157.
3)Send mcc a copy of your mbbs degree and a cover letter (downloaded from your physicians apply account) via courier.
4)2-3 working days after receiving no. 3, ECFMG sends a request for a source verification of your degree to your school via regular mail (with a copy of your degree, a form to be filled and a pre-addressed envelope). If the school does not respond within 60 days, they will send another request to the school. At this point you can opt for a courier delivery to your school. They will only repeat this step 4 up to a maximum of 3 times.
5)ECFMG responds to your school and processes your verification within 20 working days and then you can proceed to step 6.
6)Request for an ECA from mcc. this would cost $102 and would take 21 working days to process.
7)Pay a courier fee for delivery of your ECA to Nigeria (about $140).
Note that step 2 may take as long as 100 days or more seeing as most Nigerian schools claim not to receive this mail. To speed up your process, you wanna keep tabs on your school right after ecfmg requests for a source verification and ensure they check their mail and then you pay for a courier delivery back to ecfmg.

I got this from other threads. Seems accurate. Tried registering through physicians apply today, they asked for that fee.

Thank you so much sister

Will ask more questions as I proceed

I'm also just starting the process but there have been some changes from my research. Changes have been highlighted in the original post below.
Ciao.

Check the possible score of you and your hubby. Whoever scores the highest should be the principal applicant.
I perceive that you are younger in age, with your MBBS being evaluated as a Masters and 2years working experience (Housemanship and NYSC), most likely you should be the principal applicant. But I would advise, you check for both you and your spouse

You're welcome.

Drmedical:
Thanks sisters

Nyinyez7:
Thanks bqm

Has anyone done the MCC evaluation through physiciansapply.ca recently how far? How long did it take, how long before it gets to your school? With the current NASU strike wondering if I should wait before sending my documents to them.

Apart from the cost, there are no changes actually. It's always been like that. Even my friend, a guy whose names were different from degree cert and international passport because he has three names, had to show his birth certificate.

So for you, attach ur marriage cert and birth cert if you are married.

All the best.

Amen!! Infact i wish I knew about this while I was still in med school.
You are on track, just have a sponsor (parents on close uncles who understand) and start writing exams now!!

I see my post made it onto a new thread. You may not have intended to pass it on as yours but you for at least copy my name join the content and credit me on the post instead of cc-ing me naaaaaaa. Anyway i think there is a lil correction to step 4. It is only after ecfmg has sent the request 3 times (60 days x 3) and are yet to get a response from your school before you can request for the svr to be sent by courier.

Good day, pls I'm having a problem at the initial stage of registration.
My initial passport upload was rejected. Pls can anyone help me out? Am I to upload the spread of the bio data page or only the bio data leaflet?
Secondly, is there any Latin page on the Nigerian passport?

i am not sure I understand your question. Registration on physicianapply? Maybe post the upload instructions here and we could figure out the problem.
