ECA and skill class confusion

[jawadchoudary]

Hi All,

I have tried to read about my problems in this forum, but the more i am digging deep, the more i am getting confused.
I am planning to apply for express entry pool, and i want to attain maximum points. So here are tsome confusions:
1: I already have Masters degree from inside Canada, so do i still need to get my undergraduate credentials ( out side Canada) assessed by ECA agency to attain the full score. Or does CIC only looks for the high level education and i don't need to get the undergraduate credentials asses by ECA agency?
2: I am working in NOC category B (i.e Technician/ Apprenticeship) for past 4 months in Alberta, and i have an additional 2 years of international experience relevant to the profession from outside Canada. For which specific category i am eligible for in express entry.

P.S i have post graduate work permit so i donot have nay LMIA

Thanks

You don't need an ECA.

You will be eligible for CEC and possible FSW as well.

Check eligibility here ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

P.S i have post graduate work permit so i donot have nay LMIA

Thanks Asivad Anac for your reply.

As you said, i don't need ECA. But when i was filling form to enter in to express entry pool, they asked about my post-secondary education and when i entered my undergraduate credentials ( Out side Canada) the online form asked me for the ECA number for undergraduate degree.
So should i left it blank?

You can leave out all your education except Masters from your EE profile because it gains you no points on CRS and it doesn't matter to your program eligibility either.
