I have and declared 1 year work experience in noc b in Canada and 3 years foreign work experience. I am wondering if getting my credentials assessed will help. i studied in Canada and graduated from a 3 year program also. Someone told me that i do not need to asses my credentials since i took ielts and have graduated from a Canadian institution.
Obviously the Foreign Work Experience you declared is not assessed the way you believe it would for Skill transferability.
Your degree is Canadian, no need for ECA. Only foreign degrees need ECA. A master gives you 135 pts.

Could you elaborate and give us the details on what you declared for your foreign work experience ? (dates, NOC, hours/week)
As I mentioned your profile shows it does take into account, but only gives you about 1 or 2 years.
For example, if you have 2 years, 11 months, 18 days that will not count as 3 years, but as 2 years.

I suggest you calculate your points using this:

And in doubt, this is the full text for points/criteria assessment:
