New Guideline for Applying ECA

Educational Credential Assessment [ECA] is an important and mandatory immigration criterion for students and professionals immigrating to Canada and the US. The credential assessment gives recognition to the credentials you gained from your home country in Canada. The Educational Credential Assessment report identifies and describes each credential in terms of its Canadian equivalent.

There are many organizations in Canada like WES, ICAS, etc. that offer credential assessment services to immigrants. The Educational Credential Assessment report helps educational institutions, employers, and licensing bodies to better understand your educational credentials obtained outside Canada.

Here is the new guideline that you should know before applying for Educational Credential Assessment:

As of Nov 2020, the immigrants only need     to    submit    their     highest  credential for WES credential assessment. This new guideline is applicable in most cases. For example: If you have a master’s degree then you do not need to submit your bachelor’s degree for evaluation.  

It is also to be noted that an ECA report does not contain records obtained before secondary school, non-academic credentials, professional or career training qualifications, and credentials obtained in Canada.
