Spouse Education and Work Experience

[Emmasom2011]

I am the main application and my spouse does not have ECA for his education at the moment and we do not intend to get one. We already have CRS 469. So, if I decided to say he doesn't have any higher education in the EE form so that we wont be required to submit it after receiving the ITA. Hope this wont be misinterpreted since we may have to enter under his personal history while filling the PR form.

Especially with the fact that I included his foreign work experience (though did add to the CRS), a kind of job one can only get with higher education.

Kindly advise, pls.

Your understanding about his education is correct !!
Since he is secondary applicant, and if the foreign experience is not in Canada, my advice is to remove his work history and also move it to the personal history as you are doing with education.
G luck

Yup, that's the way to go.

Good luck!

If you dont get his ECA done, wont it affect your CRS? I mean, your CRS will come down by some points if you have a spouse but no ECA for him. Correct me if I am wrong.

It won't affect it in any way.

You can mention his education, the system will ask you that ECA is done for that education? You can write NO. You can not claim points but you provide his real education.

@sandra02 is right and this is the right way to go regardless of hiding the education info. For Spouse ECA is not mandatory.

Thanks. I hope if I follow this step, they won't ask us for the ECA against after the ITA. Any experience in this regards. Someone said even if you don't claim point with it in the EE, CIC will still ask for it after ITA. Is this true. Thanks again.

Thanks. I hope if I follow this step, they won't ask us for the ECA again after the ITA. Any experience in this regards. Someone said even if you don't claim point with it in the EE, CIC will still ask for it after ITA. Is this true. Thanks again.

You could claim points if you write ECA is done. I have 2 degrees, I claim points for one only, because I do not have ECA for the second one. They can not ask ECA if you mentioned that you do not have. I do not understand what somebody told you.

They won't ask but its a good practice to upload all credential for reference purpose. No Harm in it.

Don't forget to select "No" when it ask for ECA of the education.
