It is used to verify that your foreign degree, diploma, or certificate (or other proof of your credential) is valid and equal to a Canadian one. There are different types of ECAs. You need to get an ECA for immigration purposes.

EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIAL ASSESSMENT (ECA) DESIGNATION PROJECT

If you completed your education outside Canada, you need an assessment to:

• be eligible as the principal applicant for Federal Skilled Workers Program (Express Entry), or
• earn points for education you got outside Canada

You don’t need an assessment for a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate.

Which credentials to get assessed

In most cases, you only need an assessment for your highest level of education.

For example, if you have a Master’s degree, you only need an assessment for that degree. You don’t need one for your Bachelor’s degree.

When to get an assessment for 2 or more credentials

To get points for having 2 or more credentials, you need an assessment for each one.  To get full points for more than 1 credential, at least 1 of the credentials must be for 3 or more years of study.

The order that you complete your credentials does not affect points.
