ECA and CRS Points Issue

[D.k.]

1/ Hi everyone, I need advice regarding my CRS points and ECA report. I recently added my ECA certificate number, but my points didn’t change. I’m unsure if it’s due to formatting or another issue. Here’s the situation:

2/ I hold a PhD in Civil Engineering from Canada (so Canadian education).
However, I did an ECA for my Master’s degree through the University of Toronto, School of Continuing Studies.

The ECA number format looks like this:
CIC-0000XXXXX-IMM.

3/ My CRS points haven’t updated after inputting the ECA. Could it be:

• The ECA format isn’t valid?
• The system doesn’t recognize the ECA?
• There’s confusion between Canadian and foreign education qualifications?

4/ I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who’s faced a similar issue or has expertise with ECAs and the CRS system.

Is this a common issue, or should I reach out to IRCC for clarification?

5/ Thanks in advance for your help!

You have a PhD so no need for ECA. You don’t get more points for Masters.
