Ask two different questions
An immigration ECA assesses educational equivalency. For a regulated occupation, professional recognition is a separate process: check the regulator in the province or territory where you intend to work. Do not treat education points as a professional licence.
Create a destination-specific checklist
Write down your intended occupation and destination, the regulator to contact and questions about documents, examinations or training. Record answers with their source and date. Keep “not yet checked” separate from “confirmed requirement” so your plan remains honest about uncertainty.
Compare plans beyond the score
Use ImmiScore for arithmetic scenarios, then maintain a separate career preparation list. Compare the documents you already have, questions that need an official answer and practical follow-up tasks. A change in a simulated score cannot establish permission to practise a profession.
