ECA for Pharmacy Degree

[Wasiq56267]

Hi!
I'm a Dr. of Pharmacy degree holder with 5 years work experience in Pakistan. I am planning to apply for Canadian Immigration under FSW.
So far I got the info that I need to get an ECA of my 'Dr. of Pharmacy' degree from Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC).
My question is 'it necessary for me to get my documents evaluated from PECB and pay them $675 for evaluation, because right now I don't want to appear in license exam in Canada?
Can anybody please guide me on this matter, how to do ECA without wanting a License to Practice?

Yes because only the PEBC can assess to Canadian equivalency & give you the CRS points for professional degree. Doesn’t matter that you will not practice.

Designated ECA organizations like WES and IQAS charge a fee around $200, Why PEBC is charging $675 for ECA of Pharmacy Degree?

Probably because they are Canada's only professional licensing organization for pharmacists. Why don't you ask them.

You don’t need to take the exam at all.

Document evaluation is the first part for PEBC exam, and it is valid for 5 years. You can decide to give your evaluation exam in those 5 years. If you don’t want be a registered pharmacist and work in a community pharmacy, you don’t need to give any exams
