    I have a simple question. Is it mandatory to do an ECA for my husband’s foreign education if I submit my Express Entry profile? He is accompanying me as a dependent spouse in this application.

    Hello Satwinder

    The answer depends on the fact that are you getting any CRS score benefit from your spouse’s foreign education? If no, then you can skip ECA for him. If yes, ECA for his education is must. Below you can see when an ECA is required:

    – If you completed your education outside Canada, you need an educational assessment to:

    be eligible as the principal applicant for Federal Skilled Workers Program (Express Entry), or

    earn points for education you got outside Canada

    – You can also earn points for your spouse or common-law partner’s education, if they are coming with you to Canada.

    You do not need an assessment for a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate.
