Submitting documents after the initial application
You are not required to submit all your documents at the same time; you may add documents to your account any time after registration.
Documents that were previously verified by ECFMG and/or EICS
If the document you submitted to PCRC has been previously verified by
ECFMG and/or EICS, you will qualify for a refund of $40.00 CAD.
The refund will be applied once ECFMG confirms that the document was
previously source verified. The refund only applies to documents where the fees are $100
CAD.
All refunds will be processed by providing a credit/refund against the credit card originally used to pay the document fees.
