Hi Friends,

I am having Bachelor's Degree with 38 age. To increase my CRS score, I am planning to give TEF. Also I am planning to do 1 Year Post Graduate Diploma to qualify for 2 degrees. I found out a 1 Year Post Graduate Diploma in French Language (PGDFL) in Amity University Online. Will WES give recognition to this PG Diploma?

If WES is listed on following tool, then they will evaluate
https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-equivalency-tool/poe.asp

I would suggest you to try PNP since at age of 38, scores will not increase at that extent until you have Canadian Work Experience.

WES Degree Equivalency Tool doesn't list any PG Diploma courses. It only lists Bachelors and Masters degree. Any other thoughts, please?

Just put Bachelors or Masters and you will get an option to search your university, if your university exists then PGD will also be evaluated.

Amity Online University is recognized by WES. I am concerned about doing PG Diploma in French. Will studying French at PG level will get recognized or not?

The french diploma will be assessed by WES. However, to get FSW/CRS points for having two or more degrees one of which is 3+ years (and consequently earn more transferable points for language, if applicable) the second degree must be a post-bachelor degree. Meaning that the program must be post graduate in nature and requires completion of a bachelor's degree for admission. The title of the degree should reflect this too.

If anyone can sign up for the diploma program you listed then it will be no use to you.

The eligibility criteria specify that you must have a 3-year degree before applying, most likely a bachelor degree. There are no degree requirements outlined such as core requirements, electives, grade minimums, policies and the like. I couldn't find a proper dept. page for French studies or who the faculty are and indeed the school does not offer a masters degree in French studies meaning the courses you'll take will not count towards a master's degree in Amity or somewhere else unlike a post-graduate degree and for these reasons I think that the degree will be equated to a University Diploma in Canada by WES and not Post-Graduate Diploma. Granted, a University Diploma can still award you points under EE.
