Hi all, Hope you have a good day.
I'm building up my Express Entry profile, and I got a question on this part:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Enter the highest level of education for which you:
  • earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate; or
  • had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did your study outside Canada. (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)
Note: a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate must either have been earned at an accredited Canadian university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute in Canada. Distance learning counts, but only if it made up less than half your study.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I already have a bachelor's degree (WES certified) and I'm going to strat a diploma in Feline Studies. (you can see the details: http://shop.oxfordcollege.ac/level-3-accredited-diploma-cours-accredited-level-3-diploma-in-feline-studies-p-1104.html) And I wonder if this diploma counts.... because it's a one year long, distance learning course.

Is there anyone who can answer my question? If not, should I evaluate this course to WES before I enrol?

Many thanks in advance.

It is level 3 vocational/professional diploma, and this is not a post-secondary qualification. I don't think WES will evaluate this qualification or you will get any extra point if WES does.

Did you get the ECA done for your diploma?
