ECA for CEC with a Canadian Master's Degree?

[stholy]

Hi,

Do we need an ECA when I qualify under CEC and when I have a Master's degree from Canada?

Also, I see I got 50 points under "CRS - Skill Transferability - Education". So, does this mean for my Indian BE degree , I need to obtain an ECA?

thanks

1. No you don't require an ECA for a Canadian degree.
2. No, you aren't required to have your BE evaluated.

Are you guys sure of this ? I am wondering the same , Cos I have ITA under FSW and i am currently working with PGWP.

I find the following in in the link:cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-how.asp
"you need an ECA if:
you are being invited to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (it will tell you this on your invitation letter) and you were educated outside Canada, or
if you were awarded points for your foreign education (no matter which program you were invited to apply under)."

I also got point for Skill Transferability - Education :50

As per the this link :cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp#a3

C.Skill Transferability factors under education

With good/strong official languages proficiency and a post-secondary degree - 50 points.

but if you read the points breakdown at the end of the page

it goes like this ,

Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer (CLB levels 6,7 & 8)

so one has to have "two" post-secondary program credentials and one of them has to be more than 3 years( meaning the undergrad in most cases!)

Now I am wondering if having a Canadian Master's automatically validate our undergrad?

Hang on, You sound like you are claiming points for your Indian masters and is still doing a Canadian masters.

If that is the case, Yes, you need an ECA

If a certificate has been awarded for your Canadian masters, then NO you dont need an ECA

No I have a Canadian master's and Indian undergrad,

Post-secondary program does not mean post graduate , it just means any degree done after Schooling , so technically I have two post secondary degree one Bachelor's, one Master's. I didn claim anything , I just entered my degree details, EE generated the points.

If you have a Canadian Masters, then an ECA isnt needed

Re: ECA for postgraduate degree in Orthopedic Surgery

Hi,

i would like to apply as FSW, i have done my Bachelor degree in Medicine & Surgery and then obtained M.D degree in Orthopedic Surgery.

Do i need to get an ECA report for the postgraduate degree, or the ECA done for the Bachelor degree would suffice?

Thanking you in advance

Because you are in a registered profession, your Bachelors should be fine. To avoid confusion, I will not include the M.D since it makes no difference in CRS points. Not all case officers will understand, so make your application as simple as possible.
