Dear All, please kindly shed more light on this baffling issue... I submitted my application through a family lawyer that didn't collect a dime but during the course of my application review by him, he asked me to send a well detailed job description which I did by scanning the ref letter to him...
My fear is this, a scanned copy of my ref letter was submitted along with my application instead of original copy. Will this have any implication on my application?
You got no problem as they did not ask for original copy. If they need the original copy, its the visa office that will request for it at a later stage.

You do not need to submit the original at all. It will be requested at the visa office if the need be. Check out the document checklists: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf

You're right .
The minimum period that this can be accomplished is like 5 months......all things been equal.
A buddy of mine have been having issues btw ECFMG and Ife for almost 3 months now with Ife insisting they have not receive any request while ECFMG already indicated that they have sent it.
A lot of follow up needs to be done to achieve success in this.
Getting the ECA done is not the issue but getting the source verification request accomplished that matters.
There is no conclusive evidence yet that December 31st will end the current stream of FSW so he can start as soon as possible.
Even if the verification of his mbbs certificates isn't immediately useful now,there will surely be use for it later in the future.
Another doctor friend of mine who already got PER since early October actually started his evaluations before tis program started on 1st may,2014........he only had to do ECA in may which was without stress.
Cheers
.



For NOC 3112, the key word is patience. I sent my documents to MCC on June 26 this year, my documents just got verified with OAU two weeks ago. ECFMG uses regular mail for the verification process and it took about 3 months before getting to Ife. Immediately it got to OAU ife, I paid for the verification fees and courier service (20K) and my documents got to ECFMG within a week. So right now I am expecting ECA report in the coming week via courier service from Canada (paid 135CAD). So ECA report under NOC 3112 takes average 4-6 months.

Congratulations to you both! You can send a case specific enquiry to AVO, updating them that you are now married and request instructions on how to add your spouse to your application. Your bride can do same from her end and it's possible AVO may merge your application. Anyway, they will definitely respond on the way forward. Wish you a blissful wedded life :)
Thank you, we will do just that

Hi my honorable people.
I have been a silent member to this thread (I log in here over 5 times a day)and have benefited immensely from everyone.
I feel selfish not commenting and congratulating you all on your mile stones.
Glad to be back though.
PH et al, I de hail.

@ Congrats to Bykerboi.
Yet to send my application (NOC 3112), hoping to send it by month end (my ECA report should arrive in the coming week).
