Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)

Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)

Educational Credential Assessment evaluates foreign educational credentials in comparison to Canadian standards of education, serving as a valid measure for Canadian immigration purposes. If your report confirms the equivalence of your foreign education to Canadian credentials, you can include this information in your Express Entry profile. Typically, an ECA remains valid for five years from the date of issue, allowing you to utilize it for future Express Entry profile submissions. Through your account, designated institutes offer ECA application services. The processing time for your application will vary based on application volume and the nature of the qualifications submitted for assessment.
