I am doing bhms in India and I want to go to Canada for my master's . So my degree is recognised there and is there is demand of homoeopathy in Canada
Hello everyone,
We are applying for Canadian through express entry. We have received ITA in the draw held last Wednesday. My husband is the primary applicant, along with me (spouse) an two dependant kids. We are applying through our British passports. The question which is confusing us is about ECA. My husband has done bachelor of science in computer engineering from Pakistan which is a 4 year degree program. Then he moved here and did masters. We got his masters degree evaluated through ices only since we are claiming points for his masters. It has been accepted as masters equivalent in Canada and normal admission basis is at least 3 year bachelor degree. But in the express entry profile under the education section he did mention his Bachelor degree with no ECA provided. Our score was 457 and we got ITA based on this information. Now I have two questions; first does it matter that we have not done ECA for his bachelor degree? Secondly, putting up bachelor degree under education and not providing ECA can this lead to rejection?
We have checked cic website again and again and it simply says that your highest degree should be evaluated and any other degree must be evaluated if you wants to claim points for it. We did try removing bachelor degree from the education section and preview the scores, it stayed on 457. Can anyone please guide us what to do? Shall we leave it as it is where bechalor degree is mentioned with no ECA provided or should we remov bachelor degree from the education tab and put it under personal tab?
Waiting for a response,
Many thanks

If you have you masters evaluated, you don't need to include the bachelor's
Thank you for your reply. This is what the cic website says but the mistake we made was we added his bachelors degree information in the education tab with no ECA provided option selected. Now if we remove this bachelor information while submitting the application, won’t it look suspicious that why bachelors information has been removed in the actual application while it was mentioned in the express entry profile on which we got the ITA.
Many thanks
If you are claiming points on masters than please don’t include bachelors degree information in the education tab for express entry profile. Just simply put masters and it’s ECA evaluation.
No it won't as long as the Master's was evaluated. But if you leave the bachelor's without an ECA, thats where you might be moved to review required.
thank you for a prompt reply. So the best bet is to remove bachelor altogether. We did preview our score and it didn’t change.
You only need an evaluation of the highest degree earned. In this case Masters. Your points are counted based on the highest degree.
