How many points can I get for a post graduate degree?

[Thais_ms]

hey guys,
I have applied to the Express Entry and currently I have 393 points, what is not too good.. i have a barchelor degree (120 points), 26 y.o (110 points) and the rest is from IELTS.. anyway, I am looking for options for increasing my punctuation, and right now I am considering a 1 year post graduation either in Brazil or in Canada.

My questions are:
1) how many points do I get for a 1 year post graduation done in Brazil? (Supposing it was validated by WES as that)

2) how many points do I get for a 1 year college/certificate course in Canada (in a valid institution)?

I can't determine the exact score. But with CLB 9 in IELTS and two or more degrees for education your score could go as high as 450-460...depending on your work experience. You should go for option 1.

Thanks! My IELTS results are:
Listening 8,5
Speaking 8,5
Reading 8
Writing 6,5

I took another one but I got nervous at speaking this time so I dont think I did so good.. Score will be available next friday so les see.. but I was kinda running away from the third one.. so this is why I was thinking in a post grad degree..

does anyone you know or you have achieved points on that? If you could share how many, that would be helpful too!
Thanks in advance!

There are many people on the forum taking the post graduation route to increase points. It's a sure shot way to increase crs score. But, you also need to have good score in IELTS otherwise your points will remain low even after getting a post grad degree. There's no way around ielts...you will have to aim for L8, R7,W7,S7.

And you can use this crs calculator and see how many points you will gain with master's or with two or more degrees. You can also put in different IELTS scores to see how much you need to score to maximize you CRS.
