If your certificate\degree add points to your score you should do WES evaluation and prove them they are legit.

Get your highest degree evaluated. You can do for degree too but not required.

Do ECA for the Master only. Try to calculate ur points with the following tool and choose that u have master degree. U donot have to do ECA for ur bachelor because u will get the same point without mention the bachelor.

I am in the same boat and just got my masters evaluated. Got full points for masters. I didn't even enter my bachelors degree as it is not evaluated by WES and it didn't affect my total points.

Infact go to this CIC link...http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

At the bottom of the page -expand 'submitting your report' section...it says 'You will only get points on the FSW selection grid for your highest completed Canadian educational credentials shown in the ECA report.' which means if even if you get more than one degree evaluated - you will get pts for the highest degree only.

Important Note:
If you are submitting documents for evaluation of an earned Master’s degree (Arts, Sciences, Commerce) or an earned Post-Graduate Diploma, you must also provide WES with your Bachelor’s degree documents, otherwise WES will not proceed with an evaluation.

Im confused....if i send my Master's degree....WES wont proceed??

Friends,

I have MS (masters) (1 and half years duration ) from France in Supply Chain and purchasing. To get 135 score, do I need to get ECA evaluation for my MS only or do I need to do my BTech (India) evaluation as well? or I can jgo ahead with masters only

My biggest concern is to get Btech evaluation as I am living outside India... and BTech evaluation will cause big issues.

Will appreciate your advise here.
