There are couple of aspects of ur query
1. ECA: Its only for the purpose of gaining points of Education. No matter wht or how long is ur degree, u will only get points for the degree it has been equated to.
2. NOC description: The degree and Certificates/licences mentioned in NOC description are considered when these NOC are used once u r inside Cananda for preparing national statistics etc. For FSWP only (a) Lead Statement and (b) Description are important and considered. I don't have access to the link right now which specifically states that but it has been shared/discussed in initial days of the forum (May 2014). We have example of many candidiates who got PER, when they had degree in one NOC and work experience in other. Nonetheless, related degree/certificate strengthens your case for particular NOC e.g. if a doctor shows that he has been working in some management related NOC........ he will be open to more scrutiny but will definitely not result in outright rejection because he does not have management related degree as stipulated in NOC.

Arcflash said:Thanks o_o, i've read the FSW application guide and what i understand is that education must have equivalency in Canada and the table shows only in claiming of points.
I completed 5 years degree in Electrical Engineering in the Philippines but the WES result shows an equivalent to 3 years diploma. My work experience duties are dominant for NOC 2133 though I can apply to 2241 as well. Due to confusion and i understood that it is a point system, so I decided to apply for 2133. I'm just worried but some forumers says ECA report would just a secondary to support that the education obtained outside has an equivalency or recognised in Canada.
Thanks anyway for your view. CIO received my application 17 Sept.
Is there anyone here who have the same case and get approved?
Thank you.
Cheers!
