All,

One important query.. In WES report that i received (the hardcopy and also the online downloadable pdf from the WES website) my ECA# is given as a 7 digit number followed by IMM (ex- ECA#: 1234567IMM). However when i login into my WES profile in their website the reference number that I am seeing there is just the 7 digit number without the suffix IMM (ie. Reference Number: 1234567)

So which is the actual reference number that we need to provide in the EE profile.. Could this be the reason that for some people the App was Rejected since CIC could not find the Reference number that they provided ??

Regards,
Seby

I recommend using the Reference number provided on the letter as you should be uploading that letter as part of your Education documents.

Hope that helps.

Trouble is that both the numbers are mentioned. In the covering letter Reference number is given without the suffix IMM. In the report ECA# is mentioned with IMM..

Hey guys, I think i did a goof up while ordering the ECA reports. Its header says - Credential evaluation & authentication report & instead of the ECA#:1234567IMM, it says Ref#: 1234567/jhs

Any idea what will it take to rectify this? I provided the same number (1234567/jhs) before I received my ITA and that field is uneditable now. Will I need to reject ITA, order fress ECA copies & put in the new ECA#?

This is still one mystery question... :(
I have been asking this in other threads as well..

As for me I got 1234567/mg

Now I have seen people getting two different alphabets after a "/" .. but I am not sure about IMM...

Mine says ECA and that results have been shared with Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Hey srbhrn,

A: Your ECA report header is 'Credential Evaluation and Authentication report' & not 'ECA for CIC', right?
B: You have a Ref# which looks like 1234567/ab or 1234567/abc and not 1234567IMM, right?

If (A=="True' & B=="True", then "Welcome to the confused guys club!!!")


On a serious note, where does it say that the report has been shared with CIC?

A and B both true ..

On the cover page of ECA report from WES, it says:

"As you requested, your evaluation report and your verified transcripts have been sent to the recipient(s) listed below:

Citizenship and Immigration Canada - FSWP"

The package I selected costed me 203$ including taxes.

Further questions -

When did you order your reports?

& is this statement on a cover letter with the reports or on the reports directly?

My order summary looks like this-

Date Requested Service Qty Fee Amount
August 26, 2014 International Express 1 $85.00 $85.00
August 26, 2014 Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) Package 1 $180.00 $180.00
August 26, 2014 Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) 1 $34.45 $34.45

Total Amount $299.45

CIC has mentioned it somewhere on its website that the report need not be shared with them, they'll go directly check it using the WES#. Most of the people have a report with a ECA#: 1234567IMM & it just sounds more correct :(

Mine were at the same period as yours .. ordered on 21st August.

It is on the cover letter that came along with two copies of the report.

Its the same price as you as well, minus the 85$ and taxes since I had it delivered in Canada itself...

And yes IMM sounds more correct, however, mine is 1234567/mg

What about yours?? is it IMM or /XX

Pretty soon
It has to be the once on the letter. I mean with suffix 'IMM'

We get the number part right after we register whereas the suffix is generated when we get the evaluation.

People anticipating positive ECA could EE profile right after they register which is not the case.
