Good afternoon Doctor,



Thank you for your communication dated May 05, 2014. Please note that the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) will produce an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) Report for your final Medical Degree only. We will not produce an ECA Report for any Medical Transcript or Specialty Certificate.

In order to request an ECA report, you will first need to create a Source Verification Request (SVR) for your Medical Degree. In order to create a Source Verification Request, you will need to click on

- “Source Verification Requests” in the left-hand menu of your physiciansapply.ca account

- Then select “Create a new SVR” or “Edit SVR in progress”



Once you have submitted your SVR, you may request the ECA Report by clicking on “Other service requests” in the left-hand menu of your account, and then on “Request Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) Report”.



Once you have submitted your SVR, and applied for the ECA report, you will be required to submit your documents to us either via regular post or courier to the following address:



Medical Council of Canada
2283 St Laurent Blvd., Suite 100
Ottawa ON K1G 5A2



After receiving your documents a communication will be sent to you, and your file will be reviewed by a Review Agent. Please note that at this time, as we are currently receiving a higher than normal number of documents, completions of the review process may take between four (4) to six (6) weeks.



After your documents have been reviewed by the MCC, they will be sent to the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for Source Verification.

IMPORTANT: Confirmation by the issuing institution usually takes up to 100 days and sometimes longer. The length of time for confirmation can vary due to the amount of time some issuing institutions take to respond to the source verification request.



Once your document has successfully been Source Verified- Passed, the ECA Report is mailed within 21 business days. A paper copy of the ECA Report is mailed to the address provided at the time of the request.



Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further information.



Regards,





Medical Council of Canada (MCC)

Thank you for sharing the process. I was wondering if we have to wait to get the ECA certificate before we can submit the application to CIC under the Skilled worker category ? It seems that the verification will take considerable time and I want to understand if we can apply before then.

I will really appreciate if you could share any insight you have for this .

Thanks so much !!

Only MBBS degree and get it notarized. Open an account at physiciansapply.ca and follow the steps. You'll have to print few forms.

MBBS degree notarized and cover page
Certified Identity Confirmation form
Attested passport copy of first 4 pages with cover page
Release form

You'll also have to pay fee online.

Your master degree will not give you any point.
Your MBBS degree gives you 23 points. Thats all.

I am still to figure out how ECA would work for me. ? A brief about me:

1. 5+ years of work experience as a Specialist Pediatrician
2. MBBS, MD post grad from one of the top most Institute in India
3. 1 1/2 year work + training experience in Canada as a Clinical Fellow(Subspecialty)
4 IELTS score Overall 8.5
5. Permanant Job offered in Saskatchewan after fellowship

What route should i take with MCC and should i send my MBBS, post graduate or Clinical Fellowship documents for ECA .
Thanks

hi sir,
I am in a similar position as you were in. Me and my husband have our MBBS degree checked by ECFMG . Please guide me how did you proceed with the canadian medical council for the verification of your degree. Do u have to pay the money again for the certificates to canadian Medical council or ECFMG credentials will suffice. Please reply as the procedure is so costly. thank u!
