Educational Credential Assessment

[Tracyjade]

Hi Everyone,

I am applying to migrate to Canada through the Express Entry program, but I am a little unsure of which degree(s) I need to have evaluated. I have a PhD from Canada, and a Master's of Science Degree from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. I have seen on at least one website that only the highest degree needs to be evaluated; which would be the PhD from Canada. Is it necessary or recommended that I also evaluate the Masters from Jamaica? Has anyone here been in a similar situation? If yes, how did you handle it? Thanks

hi,
You don't need eca for Phd as you completed it in Canada.You can claim points for that.

Thank you. What about my Msc from Jamaica? Do i get that assessed, or does the PhD trumps it?.

PhD from Canada means, no ECA required at all.
