How can we help you?

You can also browse the topics below to find what you are looking for.

Where can I get an educational credential assessment (ECA)?

You can get an ECA at any of the designated organizations listed below. Assessments only from these organizations will be accepted.

When they assess your education, they will give you a report that tells you what your education is equal to in Canada.

Assessments issued on or after the date the organizations were designated to do ECA reports for immigration purposes only will be accepted. If you got a report before that date, contact the organization to see if they’ll re-issue it.

Assessment for specialist and family physicians

You must get your report from the Medical Council of Canada (designated April 17, 2013) if your primary occupation is specialist physician (2016 NOC code 3111) or general practitioner/family physician (2016 NOC code 3112)

Assessment for pharmacists

If you are a pharmacist (NOC code 3131), where you need to get your report depends on your job.

If you need a licence to practise you must get your report from the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (designated January 6, 2014). This applies to you if you care for patients in a hospital pharmacy, long-term care facility, and community pharmacy.

If you do not need a licence for your job, you can get your assessment from any other designated ECA organization. This includes jobs where you may need a pharmacy degree but may not need to have a licence to practise, such as the government or  the pharmaceutical industry. Contact the regulatory body in the province where you plan to live to find out if you need a licence to practise.
