Reading about all the cancellations, I became nervous... I did not upload a scan of my ECA when submitting my application after ITA. I reread the instructions several times, and they clearly state that you should upload a scan of your diploma/certificate/etc., and don't mention anything about ECA. However, now I'm doubtful if I should have uploaded ECA scan after all. I'd like to hear from you folks - did you scan your ECAs or not (those of you who claim points for education, of course)? At what stage is your application?
P.S. I provided the number of my ECA when I first created my EE profile back in January, I thought that should be enough.

I think to be on the safer side, upload as much details as you can. Whether asked for or not. I uploaded my ECA, IELTS, BC and even evidence of visas for all my travel history.
Let them pick out the information they need.

If they are out of country don't make the mistake of obtaining their passports. They ate required to submit to the nearest Canadian embassy in their country of residence.LOVEUKYLE25 said:thanks a lot! they are not here with me so i guessed i just need to ask them to send their passport to me just to be ready...

submitted my application and paid my fees
havent uploaded ECA ot IELTS though - it's not asked for either. And you cant upload stuff which hasnt been requested.
I did put down my IELTS number though in the previous sections so maybe thats enough for CIC and they'll come back to me and ask for hard copies of everything at a later stage
6 months of nervous waiting now.....

I am in a similar situation. I received my ITA on the 27th of March and submitted on April the 7th. Mine currently readstbcan said:
Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility ---- Review in Progress
Review of medical results ---- Passed
Review of submitted documents ---- Provided
Scheduling an interview --- Not needed at this time
A background check is needed --- In Progress
A final decision has been reached --- Not Started
My permit also expires in 5 weeks time and like yourself I have heard very little information on how to obtain a bridge permit and if I am even eligible. I am attending a conference tonight regarding Express Entry so hopefully someone will have some kind of info available
The instruction from the CIC website says:
"Note: You will have to provide the reference number from the report in your Express Entry profile, as well as your application for permanent residence (along with proof of your foreign credential). If we cannot validate the number you enter, we will need you to provide an electronic copy to confirm. Keep a copy in case we need to see it.
CIC does the validation via WES and other ECA agencies, they only request a copy if the reference number you gave them wasn't correct.

Good For you!! Congrats..
Although i feel - CIC is processing the CEC category very slowly..
I had created my EE profile on Feb 16 and submitted all scanned docs later and received AOR on March 21st (NOC 2174)
Currently, My ECAS status shows the below 2 lines:
-application received on Feb 16
-started processing on Feb 16.
Anyone under CEC who got any response recently?

Wow, this is a two-month timeline. Are you in Canada or abroad (which visa office)? Also, were you an FSW or CEC applicant?
