What documents should you provide at EE (first stage) and if you are selected (second stage)? It must be translated copies or originals?
So skilled trades" certificates don't need to be assessed against Canadian standards?

thanks for raising this question. i was about to ask the same. specially in the second phase when the time is limited i.e. 60 days. during that time do they need police clearance and medical? if they need police clearance during that short time then no one would be able to do that. because it takes time to get clearance and if applicant is unable to submit the required documents he would be ceased for the rest of the year.

 

[Alina.Taranenko]

Yes! Its very important. To get a medical examination you should wait about 3 month!

Just wondering , if it is possible to do the medical early...??

Medicals and police clearance are the only two docs that we can submit at a later date.
Rest all the documents must be submitted when filing actual immigration application.

To be on the "safe" side of things, I would recommend that you make sure, 100% you have these:

IELTS test score sheet, (remember it can't be older than 2 years by time of submission)
Police clearances certifications, (no older than 3 months from time of issue to time of submitting application), for all places where you have lived longer than 6 months.
ECA for all the studies you are going to claim points for.
Work references where you can see period of employment, full time/part time, description of duties (preferably per NOC list), personal references, academic references.
Identification CURRENT documents such as passports, ID's, marriage certificates, birth certificates... I am using plural to explain that all these for all applicants intended.

All these docs are mandatory, my recommendation (and I know there is going to be people here screaming on this list), is that if you can have all this ready before hand, you are going to be ahead of many, many applicants... take a look of other topics and you'll see.

Make sure they are no older than 3 months... and keep request them so you have current ones, that way when they request updated ones, you already have them.

If ECA is compulsory for trades? And all this list must be in translated and certified notarially?

and for any type of education you have acquired outside Canada, if you want to use it for immigration purposes, you need ECA, it is mandatory. As long as the documents are sent from the academic institution in a sealed envelope, there is no need for notarized copies. You can contact the company you want to use for more detailed information.

Here you can find information on these approved companies:
