In order to be assigned points for education under the Comprehensive Ranking System, Express Entry candidates’ education credentials must either be Canadian educational credentials or they must have a valid educational credential equivalency assessment (ECA) for the non-Canadian education credential. In addition, some candidates may require an ECA in order to meet the requirements of at least one of the programs included in Express Entry.
When a client has multiple educational credentials, including a Canadian one, then the client can choose if they want to get an ECA for the foreign credential.
For more information on who needs an ECA please go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp.
