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.
