Hi

Thank you for the help. I am filing an application online and I have following doubts. Please help me in finding the solution as I wish to submit the application sooner than later

1. I have Masters from US and Bachelors from India. I have an ECA for Masters. In Education History, when I added details of my bachelor degree it said, If you do not have a Canadian degree, you must obtain an Educational Credential Assessment to verify the authenticity of your foreign education and assess its equivalence to a Canadian educational credential. Do I need an another an ECA for bachelors degree too?
2. Apart from Social Security Number and credit card number, what else do I need to redact on submitted documents? And how to redact on a .pdf file? I do not have a PDF editor.
3. Intention to Reside in Ontario: I do not have any ties with Ontario. I have written a letter on how I could be a fit there. In 'Intend to Reside' section, should I copy paste the letter or attach the letter separately in 'mandatory documents' section later?
4. For work history: payslips, offer letter, work experience letter with every information, W2s should suffice? (the checking account where I was getting salary deposited got closed when my information got leaked 3 years ago, I can't get bank statements of closed account)
5. For settlement funds: bank statement of last 3 months savings account should suffice?
6. I have a gap year in 2012 (unemployment) and gap since July 2020 to now (unemployment due to pandemic, changing countries etc) ... should I write about these unemployment gaps in 1 letter of explanation ?
7. My bank is located in the US whereas I am currently in India. Bank is denying to provide me an official statement letter unless I can physically verify my identity and they will only provide me the letter in hand, not on email digitally. Is there a workaround to solve this situation?

Please guide me. Thank you so much!
