Eligibility

If you completed your education outside Canada, you need an assessment to:

• be eligible as the principal applicant for Federal Skilled Workers Program (Express Entry), or

• earn points for education you got outside Canada

​

You can also earn points for your spouse or common-law partner’s education, if they are coming with you to Canada.

​

You don’t need an assessment for a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate.

​

To earn points, your report must show that your completed foreign credential (degree, diploma or certificate) is equal to a completed Canadian secondary school (high school) or post-secondary credential.

In most cases, you only need an assessment for your highest level of education
