Is a WES ECA is deemed valid for the purpose of obtaining a Canadian Student Visa? In other words, does the Canadian immigration authority acknowledge and accept the WES ECA as a credible and applicable credential assessment for individuals seeking to pursue their studies in Canada?

ECA is Educational Credential Assessment which is required to validate your education form your home country and equate the same with the education level in Canada.
To illustrate, if you are applying for a Program like PHD Doctorate, you will need an ECA equivalence for your Masters.
Furthermore, there are few universities which will demand for an ECA for even Bachelor or Masters Program. One of them is Royal Roads University in British Columbia.
Moreover, there are multiple vendors who offer ECA assessments, few of them are:
WES (World Education Services)
CES (Comparative Education Services – University of Toronto)
IQAS
ICAS and many more
You can use any ECA bodies which validate your ECA depending on the time, cost and other parameters ie. Equivalence list, as there are few ECA which validate few universities, while others do not.
Also, ECA assessment report is been required at the stage of applying for Canada PR.
To encapsulate, any ECA Assessment report is valid for Canada Student Visa.
