hi Friends,

I am looking to apply for Canada express entry. Have few clarifications on the steps regarding ECA.
Would appreciate any help in this regard.

1. Is it enough to apply ECA for me only or should I apply for my spouse also? My spouse will accompany me to Canada. Both have completed there education from India.
2. I have read in forums that WES is the fastest in proving ECA. Any idea about the approx. cost per candidate for whole process?
3. I have done my bachelors degree in India. So should I include transcripts from my bachelors degree, plus 10th and 10 degree certificate copies? Would appreciate if anyone can help to know what all documents needed, or guide me to any checklist over web.

Thanks in advance for any help.

1. You can gain points for your spouses ECA. But not much though. If the ECA comes back equivalent to Bachelors for your spouse, you will get 8 extra points.

2. About $250

3. Once you input all your information on WES website, you will get a notification about how to, where to and what to send.
 
You can gain points for your spouse. The cost is CAD 233 per person. If you want tracked delivery then add an extra CAD 85 per person. I am experiencing delays from WES so would not say they are fast.

just degree, no need for inter or 10th

apply WES and IELTS for your spouse also... every point matters...
 
I have a question:

After ITA, while submitting the document, do i need to submit the original ECA report(hard copy) or softcopy??

Can someone confirm. Thank you
 
Anyone has a PGDM/ PGDBM that has been evaluated as "COMPLETION OF SECOND UNDERGRADUATE MAJOR". What does this mean? Will it be counted as 2nd Degree/Diploma ? My Bachelors degree is counted as Bachelors Degree Four Years. I need the points of TWO OR MORE DEGREES / Diplomas
