just take a picture or scan and send it to them. ask for how long it will take. takes 1-3 days. they send scanned copy thru email, then regular mail the original for free. You can asked them to do priority or express mail for additional cost.

Little question :
In my test invitation ( important notice part ), it is written that its my responsability to bring PHOTOCOPIES of my passeports and travel documents...
I will be already bringing the orgininals but should i take photocipies either ?
Are they asking photocopies ?
Thank you

You have to bring What ever they asked in your test invite letter especially if you have too much stamps in it, some agent is taking their time to verify those information. better be safe.

Does the ECAS get updated only ONCE daily ??

Yes, I believe so.

 

[razerblade]

If any document is requested at the time of test , where it is sent ? Local office or Sydney ?

Local office. They will provide the address and name of the officer to address it to.

Hi everyone,

Is Toronto (GTA) this slow or is it just me? My ecas shows in process from Nov-24 but I haven't heard from the visa office yet!

I have the same question. Mine shows in process since Nov 14, 10 days before yours, but I haven't heard anything either...

Yes, it's very slow. They schedule tests whenever time slots are available, and in no particular order. But time to oath for most applicants with a routine application should average out to be the same, regardless of when the test is.

I used the following company: https://taontario.ca/

$7 per stamp+GST and free regular mail. You should email them scanned copies of passports and stamps. The whole process took 1 week.

How exactly is the per stamp tallied?
If I have 4 stamps on one page of my passport, is the charge $7 or $7x4 ($28) ?

Thank you in advance for the clarification
