ECA – Education credential assessment

What is ECA

An Educational Credential Assessment is a report by an independent company that evaluates your foreign education. For Express Entry, we use this report to make sure that your foreign degree, diploma, certificate (or other proof of your credential) is valid and equal to a Canadian one.

Why getting an ECA can be tricky

There are various bodies that provide ECA and each organisation has its own way and time frame of evaluating credentials. Different bodies equate credentials differently and sometimes applying without information can cost you time and money. At Dhill Immigration Consultancy we will guide you to assessing body most suitable to your credentials.
