WES — Educational Credential Assessment
One of IRCC's designated organizations to verify foreign degrees for Express Entry points.
Outbound links go to independent providers — not IRCC or the Government of Canada. Canadian PRLedger may earn a commission if you use a partner link after we join an affiliate program; this does not change your CRS, hours, or profile data. Disclosure
Who it's for
Candidates claiming foreign education on CRS or FSW who need an ECA reference number.
IRCC reminder
Other designated organizations exist (IQAS, ICES, etc.). You only need one ECA per credential used in your profile.
Official booking & info
Other designated ECAs are also accepted.
Canadian PRLedger is a free tracking and calculator tool — not a law firm, not an RCIC practice, and not affiliated with IRCC. These guides summarize public program rules for planning purposes only. For case-specific advice, speak with a licensed immigration consultant or lawyer.
