Has anyone sent in with their OINP application package

the soft copy of WES, instead of the hard copy?

Is that a problem?

I dont think we should worry.

Worsk case scenario, they will e-mail you and ask for it.

If there are quite a few problems, i think thats the trigger to send you your application back as incomplete.

Lastly, if you included in your packet a receipt for ordering the duplicate copy of WES to be sent

directly to MCIIT, I think you should be fine; it could overide the soft copy issue.

Anyone?

Does anyone know if soft copy (received from WES by e-mail)

would be accepted?

Or must it be a hard copy?

The difference is that the hard copy has the WES logo at the bottom right...

But I think those that sent application with receipt of order directly to OINP from WES
might be ok. Not sure though.

IMO, same should not be an issue as OINP now request duplicate WES ECA per 11 Jan notification. Returning an application as incomplete because of this, doesn't make sense now.
Good luck!!

Hello everyone!


Posted in the OINP updates website:


January 11, 2016

Individuals submitting an application to either of Ontario‘s Express Entry streams – the Human Capital Priorities Stream or the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream – must provide an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report for education obtained outside of Canada. An ECA report is used to verify that education obtained abroad meets the education requirements of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program’s (OINP) Express Entry streams.

All applicants to the OINP must provide an original ECA report or a copy of the report as part of their application package. Further, the process for individuals to authorize an ECA granting organization to share information with the OINP differs by organization. Please review the information below to learn more about the process for the organization with which you have an ECA or to which you will be applying for an ECA.

If you have any specific questions about the process for getting an ECA, or about how to provide authorization to share your ECA results with the OINP, please contact the ECA granting organization with which you are working.

Please also note that the information in this program update supersedes information found in the OINP application guides and forms for the Human Capital Priorities Stream and the French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream.

World Education Services (WES)
All applications to the OINP must include a copy of the applicant’s WES ECA report.
You must also authorize WES to share the results of your ECA report with the OINP:

If you already have an ECA
If you have an existing WES ECA report, you must order a duplicate of the report at:
The “Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, MCIIT” must be indicated as the recipient of the report.
If you do not have an ECA
If you are applying for the first time for an ECA report, you must select the “Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, MCIIT” as a recipient of the report.




However, I have been reading up on recent posts and many applicants have been saying that if you submitted a photocopy of your original WES, you should wait for OINP to contact you before you purchase a duplicate copy.
Don't worry, the process of purchasing a duplicate copy is very speedy, will probably take 1-2 days since it is done electronically.

Hope this helps!
