Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)

Another requirement that you need to start working on other than the IELTS is the Educational Credential Assessment (ECA).

In a nutshell, the Canadian government requires an ECA to understand the level of your educational background or college degree based on Canadian standards. Foreign standard vs. Canadian standard. In some cases, you may have completed  a 4 year course here in your home country but to them it is only equivalent to a 3 year degree or even a vocational course. This will have bearing on your total CRS points because a higher equivalent will mean higher points.

I got my ECA from World Education Services (WES). Thankfully, the report confirmed that my foreign degree is equivalent to a 4-year Bachelor's degree in Canada. It will cost you CAD 220 come Januay 2019.
