Hello everybody,
I am going to apply for express entry and will also include my wife in. In a first step, creation of EE account, do I need my wife's education document to be accredited (ECA). As I understood I have to provide ECA for my studies as a principal applicant during creation of an application! Some people say that I need to include ECA for my wifes education only after receiving an invitation to apply!? Is it true?
Thanks

If you want to claim points for spouse's educational qualifications then ECA should be a part when creating EE profile.
 
Simplify:

Get ECA for both of you at one time.
 
what is the problem, mine is already ready and I wanted to start an application. Why I was confused, some people said that for the wife the ECA will be needed after getting an invitation.

If you do not plan to claim any points for your partner's educational qualifications an ECA for spouse is not required to create an EE profile. But, if you need those points then an ECA is required for EE profile completion.
