Hello,

Even I have received this email, I had mentioned good amount of funds and attached the ECA document with my application. Did you got any idea why we have received this?

I also have received the same email today. Any idea what this is about?

Looks like a standard mail just to make sure you aware of the changes.
I suppose it's incase your profiles no longer declare the minimum funds required.

Hi All,

Need your assistance to know that, Is ECA required to upload for ITA document checklist section Eduction (diploma/degrees) ?

Yesterday I submitted my ITA docs and today I got below mail from IRCC.

I already have sufficient funds so, only have concern about the ECA document to upload it for Education (diploma/degrees) section, if its required.

Dear Candidate,

Settlement Funds

The requirements for proof of settlement funds has changed for 2020.

Settlement funds are only required for certain candidates, depending on the program(s) you qualify for.

*Please check the Express Entry Proof of Funds web page on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website to make sure you have enough funds to be eligible to immigrate to Canada.

• You may have to update your Express Entry profile to prove you have the required funds.
• If you do not have sufficient funds, your profile will be removed from the Express Entry pool.
• If you have received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) and are submitting your application, you must meet the new funds requirements.

Education Credential Assessment

IRCC only accepts an Education Credential Assessment issued for immigration purposes.

• If you have received an ITA and are submitting an Education Credential Assessment with your application, it must be one for immigration purposes.
• If you submit the incorrect type of Education Credential Assessment, it will not be accepted and your application will be rejected.

Please review the changes and update your Express Entry profile if these changes affect you.

Thank you.

Even I got this mail today morning.

I also received this mail today. Can anyone explain the next course of action?

I believe while creating express entry profile you only need to mention the amount. It never asks you to provide/upload the proof of funds.
Similarly for education, it asks to select the ECA company, date and reference number. It never asks to upload the ECA document.

I even checked my IRCC account and didn't find any message there.

It's very confusing...Can someone help on it?
