Get your education recognized for your immigration, study or employment plans in Canada.
An educational credential assessment (ECA) establishes the Canadian equivalent of studies completed abroad. It officially demonstrates your level of education.
Depending on your plans, it is required, for example for studies completed outside Canada under Express Entry, or strongly recommended to strengthen your application or job search.
Each organization has its own requirements: documents, translations, direct sending by your school. We check everything with you to avoid back-and-forth.
The right organization depends on your goal and your profession.
For Express Entry and other programs, the assessment must come from an organization designated by IRCC. It is valid for five years.
Some professions go through a specialized organization, which also assesses professional qualifications.
In Quebec, the comparative evaluation for studies done outside Quebec positions your credentials within the Quebec education system.
To practise a regulated profession (engineer, nurse, teacher…), you also need authorization from the provincial regulatory body.
We check your documents, direct you to the right organization and follow the file through.
We confirm your goal (immigration, study, employment) and the most appropriate organization.
Diplomas, transcripts, translations, formats and direct sending by your school: a complete checklist.
