Education Credential Assessment (ECA)

An Education Credential Assessment (ECA) is a process that evaluates your foreign educational qualifications to determine how they compare to the standards in a specific country, such as Canada. It verifies that your degrees, diplomas, or certificates are valid and equivalent to domestic credentials, which can be important for employment, immigration, or further education. Conducted by authorized organizations, an ECA provides official recognition of your educational background, helping authorities understand your qualifications and assess your eligibility for programs or opportunities that require proof of education credentials.
