How to fill Education history for the PR application

[fbkamal]

My spouse completed his BBA and MBA outside of Canada. According to the Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) conducted by WES (World Education Services), the qualifications are deemed equivalent to a three-year bachelor's degree for BBA and a four-year bachelor's degree for MBA.
I am in the process of filling out the forms for my Express Entry profile. When entering my spouse's educational background, what is the appropriate way to input the records?
1. Level of education: should it be based on ECA or certificate/transcripts?
2. Academic years: should it be based on ECA or certificate/transcripts?
3. There is a dropdown to select the level of education in the report as well, if I do select that one based on the report then should the other fields be filled based on the certificates and transcripts?
4. If I am filling the records based on the ECA report then the "From" and "To" fields do not match with the Academic years. (Example: one year combing the from and to fields however it is 4 years in the academic years)
I am currently unable to find a reliable source to confirm whether I should provide information about the educational history based on the ECA report or by certificates and transcripts.
I would greatly appreciate any information or guidance on this matter.
Thanks in Advance.

They needs to be filled as per academics done. ECA is the equivalency as per Canadian education.

Thanks for your response.

Clarifying the answer a bit more specifically, please correct me if I am wrong:

If the degree is outside of Canada then the education history has two parts.

First part: Information about the education which includes from and to dates, level of education, and academic years (mentioned only the fields I have concerned about)

Second part: ECA details and level of education evaluated

So the way it needs to be filled is:

The first part is filled based on academic certificates and transcripts (for example: the level of education here will be as it is in the certificates and transcripts which will be MBA).

The second part is filled based on the ECA report (for example: the level of education here will be as it is in the ECA report for MBA which will be BBA).

No worries...
Yes that's right...

While working on the express entry profile I realized while doing the ECA process in WES we have given the from and to date in the filled form wrong (the months for the BBA) and year (in the MBA).
The reason was we misunderstood the Spring semester as March instead of January and calculated the date like that as my spouse completed his studies 15 years back. And semester starting date has been changed in the past years.
Is that going to be a problem?
Now I know the correct from and to dates and adding that in the EE profile, however in the ECA report, the year is mentioned which is correct.

WES complies with the data as per the docs sent by Uni.
Does the ECA certificate have dates as per your degree completion?

 

[fbkamal]

ECA report has the year according to the certificate not month mentioned.
So I should give the correct month/Year in the from and to fields?

Stick to the education details as achieved.

When filling out the education history section for your PR application, make sure to list all formal education starting from secondary school onwards. Include the start and end dates for each institution, and ensure the info matches your transcripts. If you're missing any documents or need help with formatting, consider using professional services to get it right. I found that sites like PayForEssay where I can pay someone to write essay can help with document preparation or proofing, which can save you a lot of time and stress. Just be sure that the details are accurate and verifiable to avoid any delays in your application.
I would greatly appreciate any information or guidance on this matter.
Thanks in Advance.

When filling out the Express Entry profile, it is important to ensure that your spouse's education is accurately represented according to the Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report. Here's how to approach each field:

1. Level of education: This should be based on the ECA report, not the certificates or transcripts. The ECA determines how your spouse’s foreign education compares to Canadian standards, and the level reported by WES should be reflected in your Express Entry profile.
2. Academic years: Use the actual number of years your spouse spent in their academic programs, as shown on their certificates or transcripts. Even though the ECA report provides an equivalency in terms of Canadian education, the academic years should still reflect the time they attended the program abroad.
3. Level of education in the report: If you select the level based on the ECA report, other fields (like academic years) should still correspond to the information on the certificates and transcripts, as this reflects the actual duration of study.
4. "From" and "To" fields: For the “From” and “To” fields, use the actual dates your spouse attended their educational programs as listed on their certificates/transcripts, even if the ECA report combines them into different categories. These dates need to reflect the actual period of study.
In summary, the level of education should always match the ECA report, while the academic years and dates (From and To) should correspond to the actual records from the certificates and transcripts. This ensures consistency with the information provided and aligns with how Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) assesses educational credentials.
