We have a list of “designated” organizations that can assess your education. This means we recognize and accept their assessments. They will create a report that tells you what your education is equal to in Canada.
You must use one of the organizations listed below. You can visit their websites to find out more about the services each provides and their costs.
We only accept assessments issued on or after the date the organizations were designated to do ECA reports for immigration purposes (see below).
If you got a report before that date, contact the organization to see if they will re-issue it.
Assessment of most foreign education
Comparative Education Service: University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies (Date designated: April 17, 2013)
International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (Date designated: April 17, 2013)
World Education Services (Date designated: April 17, 2013)
International Qualifications Assessment Service (Date designated: August 6, 2015) and
International Credential Evaluation Service (Date designated: August 6, 2015)
Most people will be able to choose one of these to do their ECA. If you are not sure, contact the organization using the information on their website.
If an organization is not on this list, we can’t accept assessments from them.
Assessment for specialist and family physicians
You must get your report from the Medical Council of Canada (Date designated: April 17, 2013) if your primary occupation is:
specialist physician (2011 NOC code 3111), or
general practitioner/family physician (2011 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 license to practice (for example, you care for patients in a community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, long term care facility, etc.) you must get your report from the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada. (Date designated: January 6, 2014).
If you do not need a license for your job, you can get your assessment from one of the other designated ECA organizations above. For example, if you work in the pharmaceutical industry or government you may need a pharmacy degree but may not need to have a licence to practice.
Contact the regulatory body in the province where you plan to live to find out if you need a licence to practice.
