Hello People

I have a bachelors in Engineering evaluated by WES as Canadian 4 years Bachelors degree. I have completed a 10 Months Graduate Certificate program from University of Atlanta. Will this count as two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees?

Hello all, I have been doing some research on this topic. when someone is eligible for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees."

as they clarified but still confusing
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/education-assessed/read-report.html





My interpretation : I think here they want to tell us that, any certificate,diploma or degree done after graduation of 3 or 4 years, In ECA assessment they want to see words like Postgraduate, Post-Bachelor's, Graduate etc or just simple two degrees of four years.

then here :

My interpretation : They want you to have one three year diploma/degree and one certificate, pretty good right ?? see next :



My interpretation : let us read again
"at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer"

your two or more is only valid if it is done after completion of 3 year program.

secondary >> 3 year degree/diploma program>> any one/two/three year certificate/diploma/degree program

Now you are eligible for two or more.

but if you have any one/two year certificate/diploma/degree before that 3 year program, you are not eligible for two or more.

My ECA Assessments are

I have a 3 diploma year diploma from state technical board (india)
which is equivalent to : Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)
and bachelor degree with lateral entry to second year
which is equivalent to : Bachelor's degree (four years)
Final will be something like this:
CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY : Bachelor's degree (four years)

or diploma (two years) and Bachelor's degree (four years)

so by all logic, i don't think I am eligible for for two or more because its like

10 year study or 10th >>> Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years) >>> Bachelor's degree (four years)
or can break it as
10 year study or 10th >>> Secondary school diploma >>> diploma (two years) >>> Bachelor's degree (four years)

here my diploma (two years) comes before 3 year program, so it is not valid for two or more.

secondary >> 3 year degree/diploma program>> any one/two/three year certificate/diploma/degree program
but if get any other Postgraduate/Post-Bachelor's one/two/three year certificate/diploma/degree or Masters, I would be eligible for two or more points.
for me, it will be like
10 year study or 10th >>> Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years) >>> Bachelor's degree (four years) >>> Post graduate diploma/certificate(1/2year ) Or Masters (2 years)

I have seen a few similar cases on this forum with same question and same study as mine, I took this little imitative to clear some air, but not claiming to be 100% right, may be I am totally wrong. please share your input and knowledge on this matter.

@hopeandfaith you must have gone through the final results. I am riding in the same boat. Could you please help me what was the final analysis of yours ? I have done 10 + 3yr diploma + 3yr btech ( lateral entry ) . I want to know under which category I come into ?
Am i eligible to apply under two or more certificates category ?

Hi @H0peAndFa1th
I already applied for PR. After reading some post here, I am confused!! I got 119 pts, 9 pts (spouse)for education.
My husband is a primary applicant. He did Bachelors (4 years, got WES), 2 yrs diploma & 1 yr certificate course. I did 4 years bachelor (got WES) and 2 yrs of diploma here. Have I chosen the right option of "2 or more certificate/diploma"?

Totally depends on your WES evaluation... If you can state the summary of your WES then I can help you.

@H0peAndFa1th I know initially you said 10+3+3 is not eligible for two or more certificate option after research but did it help later on? And did you apply after ECA? Did you get your ITA? This might help prospective candidates...
