Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) ECA is a document that authenticates foreign degree, diploma, and certificate to be equivalent to Canadian Education standards and equivalency. This is valid and a mandatory document required applying for Canada PR Visa. If an ECA states that foreign education is equivalent to the Canadian standards then only one is eligible to file for PR of The Mapple Country. This information is then included in Express Entry Profile which earns them relevant points as per the FSW and express entry point’s calculator.
