Anyone who applies for Canada immigration must get their credentials assessed to demonstrate their
education is valid and is at par with the Canadian standards of education. The assessment procedure
requires you to submit a range of documents related to your diploma, degree, or trade or
apprenticeship issued after completing a program of study or training at a recognized educational or
training institution.
There are different types of ECA available for the purpose of immigration. Your credential
assessment or ECA report is one of the key steps you must take while creating an Express Entry
Profile.
Prospective applicants must refer to World Education Services (WES) to get their credentials evaluated. WES is designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to provide
Educational Credential Assessments (ECAs) for degrees and diplomas earned outside of Canada.
