Dear friend
Earlier (last year) since I am FSW 2013 applicant, I sent documents to WES, and within 2 week time, they sent me e-mail that you possess MBBS degree and MCC is relevant body to issue you credential assessment report. Anyways, by 3rd of May 2013, I applied for MCC Verification.
Created account online, paid fees & requested for documents (MBBS, Passport copy, certified identity confirmation form, PMDC, Internship certificates) I got these all attested from Canadian embassy in Abu dhabi, & sent them documents via DHL. Within 2 weeks time, my documents were viewable.
By 3rd week of June 2013, my Passport, certified identity confirmation form, Pictures & MBBS degree were verified (as per MCC Online account) & I was sent email by MCC to contact PMMDC (Pakistan Medical & Dental council) to settle payment issue, since ECFMG sent verification letter to PMDC. I called PMDC, & they verified/confirmed that they have received letter from ECFMG for verification & they asked me to send payment of 6500 paki rupee as service charges/courier. I did it immediately.
Meanwhile, Important point..........................You don't need PMDC/License verification confirmation for ECA. Once MBBS Degree/diploma is verified, you can apply for ECA REPORT. In 2 weeks time I received ECA report.
Yes I feel it was quick for me, once your MCCC account showing document received/process, contact your university immediately & confirm if they have received verification confirmation from MCC. & You really need to push them up to act upon immediately.
Most delays are not from MCC but from our institutions. This is what MCC told me. And I agree with it.
If you are in UAE, Canadian embassy is no longer accepting attestation & have stopped attestation services since last month (may 2014). You can get attestation from US, UK, Australian embassy (which ever is feasible). I have heard you can get attestation from notary public but I am not sure. I didn't took this risk to get my documents back based on notary public attestation. Moreover if you get attested from embassy, documents are believed to be more authentic & genuine.
If any further query, do not hesitate to contact me.
I am planning to take MCC in November 2014, though my application is still pending review
Good Luck......
