Who can use the Electronic Notification System (ENS)?
For this first release, ENS is available to select pilot educational institutions and their students, in support of the Off-Campus Work Permit Program. Students attending one of the 16 participating pilot institutions will no longer be able to request confirmation of their full-time study status and satisfactory academic standing through paper forms. Instead, they will need to request an Eligibility Verification Number (EVN) online through ENS. The request for an EVN will require applicants to use epass to access MyCIC, where they will be able to complete a set of streamlining questions and start the verification request. Designated Institutional Representatives (DIR) working at the participating educational institutions will use ENS to provide CIC with the confirmed verification requests. DIR access to ENS will require them or their signatories to use epass to access the partner portal.
