Hi
While submitting my Express Entry profile back in June 2017, I selected my spouse education as high school or below as her degree release is pending with the University and I could not get an ECA without it.

So now I have the ITA and filling the PR application, when I select her education as Master's (which she is), it asks if she has an ECA for it and I can select Yes/No... and I select No... and it allows me to submit...

Though I did not claim any points in my score for my spouse's education in Express Entry profile as I did not have the ECA and still will not be claiming them in PR application...

Is it OK to change her education from Express Entry profile to correct one in PR application and I can mention in LOE the same and also state I am not taking any points for it?

Please guide.

Thanks

It's fine as you aren't claiming on it and your points aren't changing
