I have a few questions, and I hope someone could kindly help me. I've got an invitation under FSW.

1. Do I need ECA if I earned my Masters' degree in Canada, and my bachelors' in my home country? I explicitly put "No ECA" when I filled in my questionnaire. There's no place to upload the ECA on the application page.

2. Why I was invited under FSW instead of CEC? I have one year Canadian working experience and earned a degree in Canada. I'm so confused.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You should get your educational credentials assessed to get an exact number, but you can use the calculator to have an idea: http://www.canadavisa.com/comprehensive-ranking-score-calculator.html

Hello spycoon,

I am also in the same situation but waiting for my ITA.

my brief profile:
1. B.Tech in India
2. 3 Years of work experience in India
3. 1 Year of PG Diploma Education in Canada
4. 14 months of work experience in Canada

While creating the EE Profile,
1. PG Diploma - Canadian degree as YES
2. B.Tech - Canadian degree as NO and ECA as NO
3. Inter - Canadian degree as NO and ECA as NO

Now I am eligible for BOTH FSW and CEC.

I am also in a confusion state.

But in requirements it says FSW needs ECA .

I am not scored for my bachelors (120 points) in India. I am only scored for PG one year diploma (90 points).
