Recently, it was pointed to me ECA is necessary only for the highest level of education (Masters or above). However, on reviewing the Skills transferability section in CRS http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp there seems to be some confusing information.
CRS – C. Skill transferability factors (Maximum 100 points for this section)
CLB is mentioned in two places
With good official language proficiency (Canadian Language Benchmark Level [CLB] 7 or higher) and a post-secondary degree
and
Secondary school (high school) credential or less (CLB levels 1 & 2) 0 0
Post-secondary program credential of one year or longer (CLB levels 3,4 & 5) 13 25
Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer (CLB levels 6,7 & 8)
What is this second CLB that is related to education and not language benchmark? Any links on CIC website showing this information?
If more points are given to 'Two or more post-secondary...' does one need to provide evidence to two credentials, even if one of those is Masters or PhD? There is no mention of Masters of PhD here in this section.
Also, this has nothing to do with the Education points in the Core/Human Capital section. (Max 140/150 points)
To be on the safer side and since it was not much additional hassle, I am getting both my Masters and Bachelors evaluated. But thought we can have some discussion here.
