Initial Questions about Eligibility

[mannyk]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to calculate my points to see if I am currently eligible for the Federal Express Entry program.

I have a distance learning Bachelors Degree and 1 year of work experience as an admin assistant. I am currently pursuing an AAS degree in the U.S and I have completed 3 semesters with good standing.
I have the following questions about my eligibility:

1. I can get a letter of good standing and proof of credits earned in the U.S from my college. Though the degree is not complete, can I choose my educational qualifications as "2 or more degrees, certificates or diplomas" option?

2. When I was hired for the admin assistant position, I was just a high school graduate. Upon searching the NOC code, the employment requirements state "completion of a one or two year college or other program for admin assistant or secretary or previous clerical experience required." Does this mean that my work ex won't count? or these are just general requirements?

It'll be great if someone can shed light on these two issues.

Thanks a lot!

1-No, education is incomplete. You have to earn the degree first.
2-As long as the work was full-time and continuous for at least 1 year, you should be good. You're not bound by employment requirements.

Thank you!
I spoke with WES and they said I should definitely send in my current standing from the college and it may have some equivalency. I am considering sending it over and seeing the ECA results.

I also have 3 computer program diplomas (6 months each). Do you think that may hold some equivalency?

Honestly, I don't know the right answer to your question. I think WES would have the ultimate answer to your question. But there's no harm in trying to find out, better ask than not.
