I am doing EB-2 and have a masters degree from US. But Bachelors degree is from Canada. Do I need to translate college degree?

I received my Bachelors degree in Canada, but got my Masters Degree in the US. Do I need to get a Degree Equivalency for my College Degree too? Or is it not necessary since my masters degree was in the US?

A person with a non-US degree is often required to translate and have it evaluated as equivalent to a US degree. Where a US masters degree is obtained. The US school recognized the underlying foreign bachelor's degree. If knowledge is used from the bachelor's transcripts for the EB2 then it would need translated.

Yes, your Bachelors' transcripts should be translated and evaluated. How were you able to apply for Master's without showing you earned a lower degree?

Is your Bachelor transcript from Canada in English or French? If in English, no need to translate. But it's safe to have your degree evaluated for equivalency.
