ECA for the Spouse necessary??

[Avni8787]

Hi,

My husband would be the primary applicant to the Express Entry for applying to Canada. Do I also need to get the ECA done?
Would there be any benefit in the points if I get my credentials assessed?
If I don't have to get my credentials assessed, then would it affect the chances of my getting a job in Canada?

Thanks in Advance

Not required, but yes, you could get more points under the Comprehensive Ranking System

You would get more points for a high language test score.

As for your employability, it depends a lot on your field (and country of education). It could help -

Yes but it has a maximum of 10 points for post graduate/masters. Should I still get the ECA done for getting benefited by points?
