Educational credential assessment (ECA) for Express Entry: Submit your report

Your report must:

• be issued for immigration purposes by an organization or professional body designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
• be issued on or after the date we designated the organization or professional body
• not be more than 5 years old on the date you:
  • submit your Express Entry profile
  • apply for permanent residence

Don’t ask the designated organization or the professional body to send us your report.

Once you get your report:

1. enter the results and the reference number into your Express Entry profile
2. keep your original documents
3. be ready to upload copies if we invite you to apply for permanent residence

What to do if you have 2 or more credentials

To get full points for having more than 1 credential:

• at least 1 of the credentials must be for a program of 3 or more years in length
• you need a valid educational credential assessment (ECA) for each credential

The order that you complete your credentials in does not affect points.
