Multiple degrees - Should I get multiple ECAs (IQAS)?

[sfahadali]

Friends,

I got ECA for my latest degree/ last degree obtained, which is my masters (MBA) and didn't apply for my BS degree.

Academic/ Professional History
Under-graduation (BS) : Dec 2010
First job : May 2011 - Aug 2015
Post-graduation (MBA) : Sep 2013 - Jan 2016
Second job : 2016 - till date

I have 2 queries:

1. Should I get ECA for my undergrad (BS) degree as well?
A friend told me that your MBA ECA would give you the maximum points but if one wants to show professional work experience after BS, they must get an ECA for the degree which made them eligible for that job.

2. Will I have to pay IQAS again?
As per IQAS website, they will charge same whether one applies for single or multiple degrees. I got my MBA ECA in Sep 2017 and will be applying for BS ECA next month.

Thanks in advance.

its better to apply for both Bachelors and Masters degree for evaluation.as the Fee would be the same.

Yeah, I know its better to get it done but my second query is, will IQAS charge me extra? because I applied for MBA ECA in Aug 2017 and for BS, I will be sending it next month

At that moment I didn't have my BS degree verified from my institution.

Hi,

Does it really matter for EE or at the time of the interview with VISA office (In case they call for the interview) to get both degrees verified (ECA), becuase as far as i know last obtained degree is sufficient?

Please share your views on this.

Thank You.

yes last degree is required but its always advisable to also get your bachlors accessed in combination with masters.

if your masters isn't evaluated as one, getting the bachelor done as well can help you get more points with the two or more diplomas

Thank you for your response.

Points are not the issue here. The issue is that I have ECA for my MBA and have calculated points accordingly, would I profile will be rejected by immigration officer because I do not have ECA for my undergraduate degree (BS)?

and MBA gives you higher score as compared to two or more certificates/diplomas/degrees.

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. Really appreciated.
A friend got me confused because he said you have to show a proof (ECA for BS degree) which made you eligible for your first job.
