'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.' without a doubt.

'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.' without a doubt.

Thanks vdassani. Just curious to know how you concluded that it is 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.' I am struggling to find a reference in CIC website that mentions about 'Executive management program'. Do I need to provide any additional evidence to clarify this?

What is the Overall Canadian Equivalence Summary on their ECA report?

Hi Asivad,

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Bachelor's degree (three years) and completion of an
executive management program offered by a graduate school
of business

Hi Asivad,

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Bachelor's degree (three years) and completion of an
executive management program offered by a graduate school
of business

You can choose '2 or more...' option as clearly the summary is for a 3 year Bachelors plus a post graduate degree/diploma/certificate.

All the best!

My spouse also has the same case, the only difference being hers was an executive diploma in international business. I selected 2 or more certificates for her and entered a PG Diploma in IB, which was reflecting on her WES report as well.

Hi Asivad,

Sorry to be picky here but the summary says Executive management program from graduate school of business. It's does not explicitly mention it as a degree, diploma or certificate. Will it be safe to assume that a executive program is a certificate or diploma?

Yes.

Clearly indicates that this was from a graduate school of business which makes it a post Bachelors/ post graduate program. I'm assuming that this was at least a 1 year program.

Yes.

Thanks for clarifying Asivad. Yes, it was a 1 year program.

Hello
I have similar case in WES as yours.
Bachelor degree and Executive 1 year program....
However in the Summary at the top WES has not written the Executive part!!

Question:
1. Is this "Bachelor's degree (three years) and completion of an executive management program offered by a graduate school of business" your exact summary in WES report
2. Did you proceed and was CIC ok with 2 degrees option.

Thank you

Hello,

What exactly did WES write as your Canadian equivalent summary? Copy and paste here. If your summary only says bachelors degree, then that is what you should select.

I always assumed that the summary had to match an option on the CIC ECA conversion table? I thought the executive course wouldnt/isnt on there?

I dont know, but just assuming.

All the best!

Also to claim two or more, where does it state anywhere that it has to be post graduate? for example my summary is:

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Two diplomas (two years) and bachelor's degree (four years)

an my diplomas are not post graduate and i can claim 2 or more.
