Hi srmo, We initially applied in January 2008, but then cancelled that application when we saw how long it would take. We submitted a new app in April 2010, and were notified on the 15th of October that the file had been transferred to Pretoria. In Feb 2011, our ecas status changed to "in...

I applied in April 2010 directly to Nova Scotia and received our file number in the post a few months later. Thanks for the replies and feedback. Medicals are done and now we wait. I read somewhere that the second phase of background/clearance checks only happens after the Medicals are approved...

Phew Sapana! That's a relief! Thanks!!

Thanks S.M. Farhan. Guess we'll just have to be patient for another month or so!

Hi there, We submitted our application to Sydney, Nova Scotia from Johannesburg South Africa, and it was received by them on the 28th of April 2010. As yet, the fee has not come off our credit card. Does anyone know how long it takes to process the applicaiton in the first instance? How long...
