Basic connections information sessions and help available.

Basic Connections Information sessions and help available:

We’re working to improve Essential Connections for you.

We have added a ‘Submit Intent to Connect’ button to completed Application Cases to make this even faster. The button is underneath the Application Case details.
Click the button to launch the Intent to Connect form.
You will not need to enter the ECN or Application case number when you launch an ITC from the Application case.

Coming soon: We are changing permissions to allow company admins to submit Intents to Connect (ITCs) for work completed by their company.
