Educational Credential Assessment for Express Entry
In Canada, an ECA (Educational Credential Assessment) report is utilized by immigration authorities to validate foreign education qualifications like a post-secondary degree, diploma, or certificate. The report assists in recognizing the Canadian equivalent of a candidate’s educational background. For example, what might be considered a Bachelor’s degree program in one country could be evaluated as a two-year program in Canada through the ECA process. An ECA report is valid for 5 years from its issue date.
