You can create your profile without ECA. But you will not get points for your qualifications.
You can update your profile once you have the ECA.
There is no use creating your profile before getting ECA.

The link in my previous post will provide you with the details and the process followed by the IRCC. I am sure you have gone through the link and got most or all of the information that you will need to get into Canada.

Here are some links to the people who do the Evaluation of the Educational Qualifications to IMMIGRATE to Canada. These requirements are based on the methods followed by each of the bodies for the appropriate verification process. They might not be the same for all. Follow their own requirements to complete as needed by them. Also the fees will vary and the cost of delivery to you through the mail, either through the regular mail or through the Couriers.

This should help you get started.

Dear Sir

Thanks for the reply. I am slightly confused. Do you mean to say I can start the application process even before getting an ECA

Thanks and Regards
