You're applying under Express Entry? Did you use the come to canada tool?

Hi, yes, I had to use the "come to Canada" tool to get a reference number to apply.
The tool told me that I look eligible?

Have you assessed your educational credentials?

 

[noopdawg]

I haven't no - I just filled out the relevant fields to say what education I have?

Then that's why your profile is ineligible.

Use this to calculate the number of points: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
But you gotta at least get you and your wife's diploma evaluated before even considering applying and better to have your wife retake the IELTS for more points.

Thank you so much for this - I will look into getting that done.

Then that's why your profile is ineligible.

I have applied to ICAS to have our education assessed.

Is it worth me getting my Secondary School assessment done, or will my University Degree be sufficient?

I ask, because it will cost me lots of money to have 3 awarding bodies to send in paperwork to ICAS?

I don't want to do it if it has no impact on my Express Entry score.
