Thank you for the information! The funny part is I didn't get a single point for education, so why do I have to submit educational documents anyways. I am thinking of submitting my regular degree certificate but just want to be sure if anyone else has done the same.
Two questions: Under Education history, what is the level of education you have selected: Two year program at a university, college, trade etc or Two or more certificates, diploma or degrees. Second question: what have you selected under ECA section. I am guessing you have selected "No" since you have mentioned you haven't claimed the points for Foreign education.
Has ---(you)--- had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) within the past five years for this degree, diploma or certificate? (It must have been from an agency approved by CIC.)
This is copy pasted from Express Entry profile:
To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case. For example:
If you have TWO Bachelor’s degrees, or one Bachelor’s AND a two year college diploma, choose - "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years."
If you did not earn a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate, you may need to have your foreign education assessed by an organization designated by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report must show that your foreign education is valid, and equal to a completed Canadian credential.
If you did not earn a Canadian diploma or certificate, you may need to have your foreign education assessed by an agency approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. They must show that it is valid, and equal to a completed Canadian credential.
