EDUCATION CREDENTIAL ASSESSMENT

According to the Canadian Immigration Law, if you want to earn a score in the immigration fast track, you must first pass the designated ECA institution to the equivalent of Canada.
We are the first firm in Canada to have an ECA qualification as a separate business. We have certified Canada’s equivalents for thousands of clients, and most of them have successfully completed immigration success.
The certification body usually chooses WES (World Education Services) in Toronto, which is the fastest and can only recognize the highest degree.
We also provide academic qualification services for other institutions. Applicants who intend to apply for immigration with medical or pharmacy work experience may have to apply for certification at institutions such as MCC and PEBC.
In 2018 we completed more than 1000 ECA applications.

List

• A copy of the degree certificate and the clear color of the diploma that requires certification, both of which are provided, and at least one must be provided for the incompleteness.
• English transcripts are best sent directly by the school, or sealed in envelopes and stamped by the applicant. If you are unable to provide English transcripts, you can consider sealing (forwarding) Chinese, English for us to arrange translation or notarization
• If you have difficulty contacting the school, we will provide services for running errands and contacting the school.
• ID card color scan, if it has expired or lost, you need to provide ID number

Q&A

Do you need to do ECA only if you earn scores through Canadian qualifications?

No, for example, if you have an undergraduate degree in Canada or an undergraduate and master’s degree in Canada, you do not need to do ECA.

Have already read an undergraduate degree, do you need to do ECA in Canada to study a college or postgraduate certificate?

Yes, unless you do not intend to add a “double degree” score, the dual degree will significantly improve the applicant’s score in the fast track scoring system. Only a Canadian certificate does not meet a double degree.

I have already read an undergraduate degree and want to go to Canada to study for a master’s degree. Do I need to do ECA?

No need.

How do you do ECA?

The degree/educational information + certification report, the school also needs to send the transcript directly, or seal the transcript in the envelope and stamp the riding seal by the applicant. If the transcript is not translated, the applicant is required to arrange a notarization or translation.
As long as you don’t have a Canadian qualification, you need to do ECA, including the United States and Commonwealth countries.
Generally speaking, these countries only need to send the transcripts and other materials directly to the WES, and then fax a copy of their degree certificate or diploma, transcript, etc. to WES.

How many days is the certification generally completed?

It may take 18 working days for review, and the winter and summer vacations will be extended accordingly. Remind everyone: academic qualifications must be done early and try to avoid the time when the winter and summer schools do not work.

How many days does it take after WES collects the materials?

After WES receives the complete materials, it usually takes about 20 days to produce results.

No degree certificate, only a diploma, can you certify?

Yes, for the undergraduate, there are 4 years of undergraduate diplomas that can recognize three years of diploma. For masters, a diploma is equivalent to Canada’s Graduate Certificate, which can be recognized as a “double degree”. Go to the “Master’s Degree”.

Bad grades can be certified?

Yes, as long as you graduate, you can certify it. It has nothing to do with the results.

However, when I applied for study abroad, I used a modified transcript. Now I use the real transcript to go to the certification. Will there be conflicts?

The immigration office usually does not have a copy of your transcript when you apply for a school and a student visa.
We do not guarantee that there will be no problem with this, because you have violated the provisions of Article 40 of the Immigration Act regarding “false statements”. We can only say:

1. If you have submitted a false result, you should not make a mistake and continue to provide false results. Instead, you should look for opportunities to correct it.
2. False results can not pass the ECA academic qualifications, do not have a chance,
3. If you are really worried, you can also choose some projects that no longer need to provide academic qualifications, such as most provincial nominated projects.

Do you have certifications other than WES?

Yes, please consult our consultants, and other certifications are usually much slower than WES. Customers without special circumstances generally choose WES.
