Hi All,

I just wanted to check if anyone has created an express entry profile and got an ITA, by using the Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) provided by either IQAS or ICAS for the SCDL PGDBA course.

I need some help regarding that, so please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,

Actually, I have got my SCDL PGDBA(2007-2009 batch) evaluated from IQAS and they have put the equivalency as shown below in which duration of course is not mentioned.

- The Post Graduation Diploma generally compares to the completion of a University Diploma with a focus in business administration, and finance.

I have also done a B.Tech for which the equivalency has been shown to a 4 years (duration mentioned) Bachelors course. I wanted to know if I could use this ECA evaluation report containing my B.Tech(4 years) and PGDBA (from SCDL with duration not mentioned) to claim education points under category of "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees".

I read below paragraph on CIC website and I am confused as I did not saw the University diploma being mentioned as a keyword in CIC website and also my equivalency report does not have duration being mentioned for PDGBA course.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/education-assessed/read-report.html

Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.
A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree
PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school), or:


  • Post-Bachelor's Certificate
  • Post-undergraduate certificate
  • Post-Bachelor's Diploma
  • Post-undergraduate diploma
  • Graduate Certificate
  • Graduate Certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • Postgraduate certificate
  • Postgraduate Diploma
  • Graduate Diploma with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • Graduate diploma
  • two-year Postgraduate Diploma, specializing in [name of discipline]
  • two-year Bachelor’s after degree with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]
  • Dual Bachelor’s degree (four years)

This will be considered as Two or More Certificates if you have evaluated positive reports for both B.Tech and University Diploma.

Thanks a lot Mr.Preetsingh for clarifying my confusion. I have one last doubt regarding it and would appreciate if you could help in that also.

I have created a express entry profile and in that while filling my education details for PGDBA course it asks for selecting the field Level of Education in which I see below 2 are the closest options. Should I choose the "Two-year" option although the equivalency has mentioned it as University Diploma without duration mentioned.

> One-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
> Two-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute

Please find below a snapshot of my ECA report for your reference.
Level of Achievement outside of Canada

India: > Bachelor of Technology (Electronics and Communication Engineering)
(2007)
Punjab Technical University

Four-year undergraduate Degree program


> Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (Finance Management)

(2010)

Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning

Two-year graduate Diploma program


Comparative Levels of Achievement in Canada

The Bachelor of Technology degree generally compares to the completion of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree with focus in Electronics and Communication Engineering.


The Post-Graduate Diploma generally compares to the completion of a University Diploma with a focus in business administration and finance management.
