Do I need a ECA to be considered under FSW?

[kkcat]

Hello, can anyone help answer it?

I have a Ms.C. in Canada and a bachelor in other country. Do I need to get my foreigner education assessed to be considered as FSW?
Thank you

Yup. You need to get your non Canadian degree assessed.

Why do you need to assess the foreign degree when the Canadian one is sufficient to obtain its score? I don't think you'll need it.

No you don't need to get anything assessed as your highest degree ie your MSc was obtained in Canada. Your Bachelor's degree is irrelevant as you've already claimed the points for your Master's degree.

I haven't formed an opinion one way or another, but I have a question. In a situation like this when the applicant does not get his Bachelors assessed and say for argument sake he/she has 2+ years of Canadian experience and achieved CLB 9 in all 4 language areas, how much CRS points would a single applicant get under the "Skill transferability factors - Education" section?

Yes , you need to be assessed your Bachelor degree,
although you will get the education point of your higher degree but CIC / Visa officer will review your bachelor's degree too and for that you need an ECA.
Your application will be rejected if you fail to submit your ECA for Bachelor's Degree.
.
so do not take risk and get your ECA for Bachelor's too...

do you have and proof or source of such claim. The CIC ECA page doesn't indicate at all that all of you post secondary degrees should be assessed.

To validate Canadian Master's degree , one must need to assessed his Bachelor's degree.It is a universal rule.
BUT choice is up to a candidate follow it or keep yourself in a danger zone......

Getting point from higher degree is totally an other issue.
what if visa officer will ask you about bachelor's degree, as CIC says submit all educational documents i.e degree/Transcripts along with the Original application.
and if i would be the topic starter, i will also assess my Bachelor degree without taking opinion from others.....

Ok...so you don't have proof. A universal law is not a proof that one WILL get refused as you claim. And if CIC takes with traditions and universal thoughts... then I could claim the opposite as well. A VO must know that beacuse he/she has a master then her foreign credential is already approved via the host university. Unless, he/she would have never have been accepted in a master's program from the beginning. The whole idea behind obtaining an ECA is the proof that you erned an equivalent degree to a Canadian one and that what you obtained the points for.
