As a newcomer to Canada with professional training or education from another country, one of the most important steps to restart your career or continue your education is to get your credentials recognized.

This process is called an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) — and it's essential for many jobs, college/university programs, and immigration applications.

Why Credential Recognition is Important

  • To work in your field: Employers want to understand the level of your education.

  • To continue your studies: Colleges and universities often require credential evaluations.

  • To apply for immigration: An ECA is a key requirement in programs like Express Entry.

  • To access professional licensing: Some regulated professions require recognized credentials.
