Hi all, I am new to this forum and would like to inquire about the Educational Credential Assessment under Federal Skilled Worker Program.

1) When submitting Express Entry profile under FSWP- what qualifications do I need to send out to assess, ensuring that I can get all the points I can?
My spouse and I each have Bachelors of Science and MBA (masters), do we need to submit high school as well?

Also, if High School is required (to claim more points?), what can we do if my spouse's high school no longer operates (they shut down long time ago)?

Last question, my understanding is that the docs have to be sent directly by the institution and they will not accept sealed/stamped documents from us directly?

From my understanding, the highest degree held gives you the total points and not each degree or certificate?

Appreciate all the help.

Hi bkbk8

If you both have MBAs that's a good thing. You can do the ff:
a. WES for both of your MBAs. You can list both degrees but the WES for your MBAs will get you the maximum points so go with those.
b. No need to bother with the High School diplomas or certificates for FSW; it won't give you any extra points
c. You can request transcripts from your school, collect them and post them yourself.

If you're young enough and have work experience the key lies in getting a CLB 10 IELTS for you both. This way you'll easily score above 470.

All the best and feel free to PM me. Do remember all my information is based on personal experience and should not be considered professional advise.CIC is always your truest source of information
