ECA for Degree from US?

[mjb811]

Hey there! I can't find anything specific online about my query and just want to check -- if I'm an American who wants to apply for PR in Canada, and my Bachelor's degree is from an accredited school in the US, do I still need to have it evaluated to get points?

I realize this is probably a dumb question with a simple answer (that being, "yes, dumbo"), but since I know degrees often transfer pretty freely across the US and Canada, I just wanted to check that it was still considered a "foreign" degree.

Thank you!

I second that. ECA is mandatory for US degrees too.
