In simple terms: WES takes your Indian degree (like a B.Com from DU or a B.Tech from VTU) and tells Canada what it is equivalent to in the Canadian education system. Why you need it: CRS Points: Without a WES ECA, your education is worth 0 points in the Express Entry pool. Eligibility: To enter the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program, an ECA is a mandatory requirement.
