WES equivalency confusion

Hi guys,
WES has evaluated my wife's Master of Arts degree (2 years) as "Postgraduate diploma (one year)" and thus her educational equivalency summary is "Bachelor's degree (four years) and postgraduate diploma (one year)". In the "Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report" I couldn't find the Postgraduate diploma option. If I select "One year program at a university..." option it doesn't increase any points. I think this 1 year option is not postgraduate. What option should I choose?

This should be equivalent to "2 or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees" right?

Thanks, really appreciate your help.

Yes, you can claim points for two or more degrees

Hello Everyone

Would you help me understand what Undergraduate Performance Diploma means? And would you know how many points?

Thank you for your support!
