Thanks for the reply DocHasan,

the documents are sent via regular mail, but my question is whether I should apply and pay the fee for the ECA report to be sent by courier NOW that my documents haven't reached ECFMG yet, or should I wait for the status to change into "Viewable onine" in my account???

It doesnt matter whether you pay the courier fee now or later. You can pay now

Hello,
My physiciansapply account said 'sent for source verification' 3 days back. Does that mean it has been sent to the college?
In how many days will they receive?
Thanks

If your college is in Asian region, about 3-4 weeks. Mine took 20 days.

Best to wind up all the fees etc now. Get working on finalizing the application. Keep everything ready to go in the meanwhile, as soon as you get the ECA report. Send your application package.

Thanks for the reply!

I called my institution today they said once they recieve the mail from ecfmg and after completing they will hand over to me 'sealed envelope' so that i can courier. But i came to know that the courier service ask us the id of sender. Will it matter if i send it by showing the id afterall its a sealed envelope by college?
Has anyone faced the same problem???

The university has sent my documents to ECFMG, but in the meantime the university has received the second mail that ECFMG has sent (resent the documents because the first mail wasn't sent within 60 days).

Now, I need an advice whether I should ask the university to send the second mail to (all the docssigned and stamped) and get sure that it will be sent via courier, so the second mail will SURELY arrive before the first one (since the first documents were sent via regular mail).

Will ECFMG have problems if they receive 2 package of documents on my behalf?

You can send. Double verification reply won't harm.

Documents "Reviewed and Accepted" today

I got this message at physiciansapply : "This is to inform you that the following credential document has been reviewed and accepted, and will be sent to ECFMG for source verification."

;D ;D ;D

You have to visit ecfmg.org and read about the various services they offer in detail.

1. EPIC (ECFMG EPIC) - Electronic Portfolio of International Credentials for individuals
2. ECIS (ECFMG ECIS) - ECFMG International Credentials Services for organizations.
3. ECFMG/USMLE number which you will have if you have applied for USMLE examinations or ECFMG certification in the past.


All the above ask for source verification of transcripts and/or medical diploma at some point.

MCC is using the service of ECFMG ECIS! so MCC will generate an ECIS number for you after your application. This number can be found on the profile tab, identifiers section. You will also find other identifiers like candidate number and MINC number here.

If you have previously source verified your medical diploma via any of the three products above, your ECIS request made by MCC will be connected to your records with ECFMG and process is faster because they will not resend documents to your medical school.

Let me know if I should try harder..... :D

Regards Doc.

I have shared my USMLE / ECFMG / OASIS account information with MCC at physiciansapply. What else do I have to do so that ECFMG does not have to send my SVR to my Medical College ?
 
Hello,

After almost months of doc collection (Yes Medical Council of Canada took forever for ECA report), we have sent our application today. NOC 3112 is relatively cold so far so we should be fine I guess. We can only hope now that we didn't overlook something important/mandatory. Thanks to forum for the support and Good Luck everybody. Any idea when we can expect to hear about DD charge?

Many Congratulations! Going by current trends it might take 3-4 months for the DD to be charged. Good luck
 
Does MCC give courier tracking code for ECA if candidate paid for courier delivery of ECA report. If yes, then how to get it? Any idea friends?
