Hi everyone,

In the CRS calculator tool one of the questions if you are brining your spouse is:

What is the highest level of education for which your spouse or common-law partner's has:
  • earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate; or
  • had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)? (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)
To earn points for the level of education does the level of education has to be from a Canadian institution?
My spouse has a degree but it is not from a Canadian university.

Thanks

No, but your spouse needs an ECA for the degree to count the points.

Evaluate your spouse degree from https://www.wes.org/ca/. Create an account and follow the steps and generate a label. steps are straightforward.

Once you have the label, contact or visit the university, fill a form for the transcript and make sure the university itself will deliver the transcript to the WES. generally they give this option as well.
