educational credential assessment

An educational credential assessment (ECA) is a formal process that evaluates your educational qualifications obtained outside of Canada to determine how they compare to Canadian standards. It verifies the authenticity of your diplomas, degrees, or certificates and translates them into Canadian equivalents. This assessment is often required for immigration, work, or further education purposes, helping institutions or authorities understand your educational background accurately. Essentially, an ECA ensures that your international education is recognized and valued appropriately within the Canadian system.
