If WES evaluated all these Qualifications you can write WES reference number. Others, just choose not available and leave it. Better to describe all qualifications from High School.
thanks naredont
.. I am keeping only Bachelor college information as this is what I have shared with wes..

Thanks a lot Riddymon, I really appreciate your explanation bro!
I am waiting for the next draw now , got nominated with PNP so CRS scores is good enough now to get ITA.

Few more questions:
1 - Once we get ITA then d owe need to straight away submit the medical or t hey will request to submit the medical?
2 - same questions for PCC as well.
3- If all docs we need to submit straight away then how long it will take ( after submitting all the docs with medical & pcc ) to get request for Passport ?

ECAS stands for Electronic Client Application Status

Site is here: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do?app=ecas

Basically you can see some extra information on your application. When you login you can your see you PR application status. It will say In Progress, Decision Made, Under Review (i believe), etc...that's a link that you can click on. When you click on the link it takes you to another page where you have a numbered list of status updates. Here's mine currently:


1. We received your application for permanent residence on August 5, 2015.

2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 5, 2015.

3. We started processing your application on August 17, 2015.

4. We sent you correspondence on August 17, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

5. We sent you correspondence on September 1, 2015. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

Those are the "lines" that people are referring to.

So when people have ECAS - In Progress, 5 lines...that's what it means 8)

No prob...we're all on here to help each other 8)

To answer your questions:

1) You need to do an upfront medical so when you get your ITA, go ahead and book a medical with a DMP in your area then submit the medical report with the rest of your documents. It'll be one of the initial set of requested documents.

2) Same applies for PCC - if you think you'll be getting your ITA soon, go ahead and request one now so that you'll have it ready to go to submit with the rest of your documents. If you're not sure when you'll be getting ITA, then I'd hold off for now but I think the police certificate can't be more than 6 months old.

3) This answer honestly varies...could be as short as a couple months, could much longer. Some people on here have been pushing that 6 month mark. I've seen others much shorter. Even my application seems to be moving pretty quickly. Within 3 weeks, I had my medical passed, requested schedule 4s and celpip and then my app went into the background check phase.

yes it is required
But what if I dont have one? Will a letter signed and stamped by the employer explaining that I'm getting my salary with all other details likely to be sufficient ?


Thnx for your help
