Are you a newcomer who wants to immigrate to Canada? Then you’ll be thrilled to know that Education Credential Assessments (ECAs) are your golden ticket! These assessments serve a critical function by contextualizing your educational achievements for the Canadian immigration system. An ECA is a document that assesses your international education credential and determines its Canadian equivalent.
Excitingly, you can easily order ECAs from organizations that are designated by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to assess foreign education credentials. So, what are you waiting for? Get started on your ECA today and take the first step towards your dream of immigrating to Canada!
An ECA for Canadian immigration generally includes a verification of a candidate’s education background, the Canadian equivalence of their credential, and identification and description of the assessed credential. This includes the name and year of the credential, requirements for entry and program length, status and name of issuing institution, and major/specialization of credential.
Having an ECA can increase a candidate’s immigration chances by allowing them to earn more points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scoring grid. The higher a newcomer’s education level, the more points they are awarded under the system. Assessing additional credentials can also increase a candidate’s overall points score. For example, having “two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees (with one being from a program of three or more years in length) can earn up to 128 points for single applicants. This is an additional 8 points within the CRS when compared to someone with only a bachelor’s or three-year degree. Pursuing different types of ECAs may also be beneficial to a candidate based on their situation.
In addition to proving a candidate’s eligibility for a program, an ECA can also be an effective way to increase job prospects within the Canadian labour market. This can further lead to an individual being eligible to apply under different Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams depending on their situation, thereby aiding their immigration chances.
