Newcomers intending to immigrate to Canada must receive an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) in order to be eligible for some Express Entry programs and increase their chances of being invited to apply for permanent residency.
If your objective is to relocate to and settle in Canada, obtaining an ECA should be on your agenda. Here are three reasons to use WES for your ECA.
- Trustworthy knowledge and expertise.
WES has 50 years of worldwide education research and evaluation experience, so you can rely on our broad expertise. WES has done over four million credential evaluations by using its broad database and skilled workforce from over 60 nations.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires economic-class immigration aspirants to submit an assessment from one of its pre-approved credential evaluation providers. WES is one of the recognized suppliers. In addition to IRCC, hundreds of academic, licensing, employment, and government entities in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand accept WES reports.
- Security and convenience
When you obtain an ECA from WES, we save your report and validated academic documents for future reference. This means you won’t have to worry about misplacing your report. To explore additional alternatives in Canada, such as work, higher education, or licensure, just return to WES, update your ECA, and request a new credential evaluation (such as a Course-by-Course or Document-by-Document report).
WES also provides a quick option to renew your ECA, which is good for five years. Your ECA must be up to date when you submit your Express Entry profile or apply for permanent residence. To renew your ECA, simply log in to your WES account.
- Commitment to Global Mobility
WES is a non-profit social company dedicated to promoting the educational, economic, and social integration of immigrants, refugees, and foreign students. In addition to credential evaluation services, WES creates, maintains, and invests in social impact programs and systemic change.
