Hey, I said transcripts are no more required if you have ECA. Other guys are mentioning about Degree certificates and all. Why you always point to me? Because I am a consultant, that's why?
Because of this:

You need ECA report pdf only. You can upload scans of your marksheets and degree certificate as well, if you want to.

Degree doesn't give you any points? Where did you hear that?! Your ECA is just an equivalency document for foreign education, not a degree. You get points for the degree, and the ECA validates it because it's foreign.

This really isn't complicated my friend. Upload your degree and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't, it's immediate rejection.

Some people add other stuff, but it's not required. Even ECA is optional.
I meant that ECA has to be done, if it’s not done no points. That’s why they ask for reference number.
I don’t mean that you have to attach the pdf itself, but if you don’t get your foreign degree assessed your degree it worth nothing. So by attaching degree ONLY you won’t get any points.

“Your report must show that your foreign credential is valid and equal to a completed Canadian secondary school (high school) or post-secondary credential. If it does, you must include the result and reference number in your Express Entry profile.

If your report shows that your credential isn’t equal to a completed Canadian credential or the foreign educational institution is not recognized:

  • you won’t meet the education requirement under the Federal Skilled Workers Program
  • you won’t get any points for it”

Yes I have, but the translation of my degree was done back home long time ago. I am reading the requirements, it says that translation must be done by certified "Canadian" translator. So will they accept the translation from my home country (which was done by a translation agency) or do I have to do all over again?
Hi there, did you end up getting new translations done for your foreign degree and transcripts?(done by a CA certified translator) and Did you also added a certified true copy of the originals? (When a notary certified that the copies are the same as the original document).

thanks!
