1. New Guideline for Applying ECA
Educational Credential Assessment [ECA] is an important and mandatory
immigration criterion for students and professionals immigrating to Canada and the
US. The credential assessment gives recognition to the credentials you gained from
your home country in Canada. The Educational Credential Assessment report
identifies and describes each credential in terms of its Canadian equivalent.
There are many organizations in Canada like WES, ICAS, etc. that offer credential
assessment services to immigrants. The Educational Credential Assessment report
helps educational institutions, employers, and licensing bodies to better understand
your educational credentials obtained outside Canada.
Here is the new guideline that you should know before applying for Educational
Credential Assessment:
As of Nov 2020, the immigrants only need to submit their highest credential for
WES credential assessment. This new guideline is applicable in most cases. For
example: If you have a master’s degree then you do not need to submit your
bachelor’s degree for evaluation.
It is also to be noted that an ECA report does not contain records obtained before
secondary school, non-academic credentials, professional or career training
qualifications, and credentials obtained in Canada.
