eSAVED ™ (Extended Storage of Authenticated and Verified Electronic Documents)

WHAT IS eSAVED™?

CGFNS automatically stores an electronic version of all applicant documents for a period of four years from the date of the last order (five years for VisaScreen® applicants). After four years, all applicant documents are automatically deleted from the CGFNS system. eSAVED™ allows applicants to extend the storage life of their electronic academic documents.

Documents stored in eSAVED may need to be re-validated ahead of their eSAVED expiration date in order to meet the differing requirements of the regulatory authorities where they are being sent.

BENEFITS OF USING eSAVED™

The primary benefit of using eSAVED™ is that it saves applicants time and money on future CGFNS services, as applicant documents are securely stored so they can be reused without having to start over and re-order all the documents from the primary sources.

Stored documents can be forwarded to third parties using eDas™ for acceptance as primary source documents by nursing boards, licensing boards, immigration attorneys, and others.

Please note that after purchasing eSAVED, you may still need to submit additional documents when you purchase another CGFNS Service.
