ECA for Spouse

[can_swim]

Hi Gurus,

Just got the IELTS results today, both my wife and I ended up in the CLB 10 band. With my masters degree, work experience & IELTS scores for the both of us brings our CRS score to 459. My wife is a CPA (from the US) and I havent gotten her ECA done because I don't think its wise to spend $250 to get another 10 points (If I added her CPA course which is a professional degree to the CRS calculator, our CRS comes to 469).

what are your thoughts? Is a CPA considered a professional degree? Should I get her assessment done too? I will have to wait for the IELTS hard copies anyway for the TRF number and would miss the draw today or end of the month.

Thanks!

Actually I realized that CPA does not qualify as a professional degree under the ECA matrix. Will her Masters in Commerce (India) qualify as a Canadian equivalent Masters by WES?

Hey buddy, we have the same CRS score
If i had the opportunity to increase my score, I would definitely explore it.
I'm not sure about CPA, but if its a degree you may as well get it evaluated.

Good luck
