Call for Service Proposals (CSP) for Professional Bodies Providing Educational Credential Assessments
CSP Identifier: SIP-ECA-CSP-2024
October 2, 2024
Note: There is no closing date for proposals.
The purpose of this Call for Service Proposals (CSP) is to invite professional bodies to apply for designation to provide profession-specific Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) reports for immigration purposes, in accordance with Section 75 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.
Benefits of profession-specific ECA reports
IRCC uses ECA reports to award immigration selection points or make program eligibility decisions for clients who have obtained an educational credential outside Canada. ECA reports from a professional body can benefit clients by connecting them earlier in the immigration process with a regulatory body that oversees their occupation. This can help clients learn about foreign credential recognition processes and the steps to take to become licensed to practise. Profession-specific ECAs are also recognized as a step in the licensing process, which helps to reduce duplication between immigration and licensing processes.
