Hey guys, in order to apply for the express entry pool and, after the ITA, to apply for PR, is it necessary to have the ECA hard copy or just the soft copy will do? Thank you all.
Hard copy is not required at any stage. However, when u reach canada airport. People advice to carry hard copy to be on safer side. ( As per my knowledge).

"Thank you for applying to the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) for an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for immigration purposes. This email is to confirm that your application wasreceived by the IQAS office.
Once the academic documents you requested from your institution(s) arrive in our office, we will send you a second email and your file will be placed in line for processing".
The univeristy sent Transcrtips on 15 Nov 18. I hope it will take a few days to issue AOR2.
You should have received AoR by now. If not, try logging in on IQAS website and check the status of your ECA.
IQAS generally gives masters for MCA (distance too).
Cannot be sure as I heard not just their website, their way to evaluate degrees also changed. Try checking your CRS using both masters and two or more degrees as an option and make further plans.
hi
when you login to your iqas account there is an option of check application status when you click there it takes you to a page where it shows status under which its written final review or mailed or inline processing right next to it there is an option which says view certificate if you click on it - it downloads your report. it does not download report if you have a pop up blocker so look at the upper right corner of your screen on chrome or whatever browser you are using. your popups might have been blocked due to which it is not downloading.
check your browser settings popups must have been blocked.
what browser are you using I was facing the same problem on safari.[/QUOTE

Hi Yogi24, just to update you, finally my status has changed to "Final Review" this morning. That means now my waiting is only for the upload of soft copy and the reference number for the application of EE ? TIA!
