You have to get ECAs for both of them to claim points for your education.

There are people who have ECA only for Masters but better to have both. Costs the same through WES, just send them together.

I don't think it is accurate statement because system will only consider highest degree for points calculations. Therefore, he should be fine by obtaining ECA for Masters. Many of my friends/ colleagues are already got PR and they just submitted their master degree.

Hope that helps :)

Some people got their masters evaluated as less. Better to risk getting 2 or more diplomas as a result than just a bachelor if that's what they find his masters is worth. For some 1 point can make all the difference

Does WES evaluate Both separately? For our case, Both Bachelors and Masters were sent to WES, but they just generated one report with Master's equivalency. There is no report for Bachelor's equivalency. Are you suggesting that in such cases, Bachelor's equivalency report should also be generated?

If you look carefully, WES writes the corresponding canadian equivalency for each diploma

If I already have a Masters and the ECA says that it is equivalent to a Canadian Masters do I have to have a Bachelors ECA as well?

In the CRS tool that lets you estimate your score without a profile I select Masters and it gives me my score.

When filling out my EE profile, I fill out that I have a masters and I have the ECA for the masters, and I have a Bachelors, but do not have an ECA for Bachelors.

Anybody have experience filling out the profile like that?

I have a similar profile. Remove your bachelor's from the education section and add it to your personal history.
