Dear All,

I am from India, Medical graduate completed my graduation (MBBS). As per ECA website it is clearly stated that

"If you are applying: as a specialist physician (NOC 3111) or general practitioner/family physician (NOC 3112), the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) must do an ECA for your primary medical diploma

if you are in a position where you do not need a license (organizations such as the pharmaceutical industry and government which require a pharmacy degree because of the education or skill set, but may not require a licence to practice pharmacy), you can have your credentials assessed by one of the other designated ECA organizations. Contact the regulatory authority in the province where you plan to live to find out if you need a licence to practice your intended occupation.

under any other occupation, check the websites of the other CIC-designated organizations or contact them directly to find which one best suits your needs. Consider:
Some designated organizations partner with certain regulatory bodies or large employers. In that case, the ECA you get for applying to CIC might also help you later on.
F
  • or each one, you should check to find out what other organizations recognize their assessments.
    Find out what documents you need.
    Find out how much it will cost. Costs may vary by organization.
    Find out how long an assessment will take.
Note: CIC uses assessments done by the MCC or the PEBC for immigration purposes. They are also used in the process of licensing for those professions. Please contact the regulatory authority in the province where you plan to live for more information about getting a licence.

My questions is: I do not need licence for my job role because i am not going to do medical practice in Canada. WHich designated body should i go for my ECA? What all documents i required to submit for verification to consider my self eligible for CRS system?

Many thanks in advance !!!

Best regards,

HI did you end up applying for express entry?
I am in similar situation as you. I have MBBS and looking to apply but not as a physician. From what I read and understood will still have to verify through MCC and not Wes.

How long did the process take for u? Did you get an ITA?

Ok thinking if to do application solo or with assistance of lawyer.
Also seems like the eca should be done with MCC instead of Wes
