1. GENERAL STUFF
Your IELTS score is valid
2 years from the assessment date on your certificate. You only need to supply your scores, test and result dates, and your certificate number: no need to scan it in.
Your Medical is valid
1 year from the date the medical was done. Do this once you get an ITA.
Your ECA is valid
5 years from the date of assessment was completed. You only need to submit the reference number and the name of the assessor. You'll need to do this before you before you apply as they'll ask you for a reference number when you create your profile.
2. ECA and IELTS
When sending in for an education assessment, you apply separately. You must have your university send your information to a government approved assessor.
When you go for the IELTS test, you do it separately of course. Spend some time practicing this. There's tonnes of samples online and books you can buy.
3. RELATIVES IN CANADA
Having relatives in Canada will boost your CRS and make you eligible for FSW stream. Unfortunately I think they might help your fiance better since they would need to be blood-relatives rather than through marriage.
After a quick search if you wish to use your fiance's aunts as part of your own score leverage then you'd need to be married first to create that link between yourself and your partner. But when it comes to creating the EE profile, you cannot be the main applicant: your wife would be the main applicant as she has the more direct relation to Canadian citizens. You're the "+1" / "co-applicant" / "common-law partner".
I have the feeling, and I could be wrong, but you'd need to be married first in order to create the needed legal documentation to prove the relationship between yourself and your partner. I personally think it would be quite difficult to prove that you and your fiance are a "thing" when you don't have any legally acceptable evidence.
Proof of relationship needs...
Birth certificates of:
- yourself (i think this is just part of the application. Not really needed for POR)
- the fiance
- the parent of your fiance whom is the sibling of her Canadian relative (ie. the father or mother of your fiance), and
- the Canadian relative.
The last 3 should provide a "descriptive" link of the relationship (ie. they can infer the relationship from the last names on the birth certificates match etc.) between your fiance and her aunt (which ever you choose), but you'll need to get the aunt's marriage certificate if they themselves are married. If one aunt is not married then use them because it's less paperwork to submit
You'll also need to provide your own marriage certificate. This proves your link to the wife and also as proof of change of last name for her.
You'll also need a copy of:
- the relative's Canadian passport (the id page should suffice)
- recent utility bills (this is just to prove they're actually living in Canada - get this after the ITA is received.)
TL: DR
- Your fiance can only be the main applicant of the EE profile.
- Without a marriage certificate between yourself and your partner, I think it might be difficult for you to apply but easier for the fiance. I know it sounds cheap and desperate but that's all you can do. Just go to the registry office, sign some paperwork, put some rings on and done: legal paperwork...have a proper ceremony / reception later.
