42. Do I need to get an Education Credential Assessment (ECA)?
An ECA is required for candidates in the Express Entry pool who wish to be considered for draws related to the Federal Skilled Worker Program, unless they were educated in Canada.
For candidates who are hoping to apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program or Canadian Experience Class, an ECA is optional but may increase the points they receive on the CRS and improve their chances of being drawn from the pool.
I`ve send my diploma to WES two days ago. If i don`t get my evaluation until 1 of January, what should I do.
Should I write my education, or should I wait to get my evaluation and then fill that section.
Because I`ve read that we can upgrade our profile any time we have any change.

That is true, you can update your profile.
If you plan to create profile on January 1st, create it without ECA. Once ECA evaluation arrives, you can add it to your profile and claim points.
