Hi,

I have a graduate degree from a Canadian university and my undergrad is from the states. Do I need to get my bachelors degree evaluated even though I have a Canadian masters? Can't seem to tell what the rule is...

No need for evaluation if you received your certificate from a Canadian institute.

Hi, Thanks for the reply - I am filling out my EE profile and when I add my bachelors degree - there is a section to provide ECA details. Is this necessary? will I lose out on points?

Basically,

Canadian Masters
US Bachelors (ECA required?)

I have read that some ppl have not done ECAs for other degrees if they have a Canadian degree. I still can't tell if I would be missing out on points by not having an ECA? Any insights would be helpful.

They are only concerned with highest education level.
You should not loose points.
It's not difficult to get an ECA for American Education. I got mine in weeks (MS @ UF)
