You only need an ECA for the foreign credentials you want points for. Often the highest degree is enough, but there's a catch: CRS gives extra points for "two or more credentials" (where at least one is a three-year-plus program), so assessing both your bachelor's and a second diploma can score higher than the bachelor's alone. Canadian degrees don't need an ECA. Compare the point outcomes with our free CRS calculator.
