PLEASE HELP! IS MY DIPLOMA CONSIDERED TWO YEARS OR THREE YEARS?

[alexjonshon212]

Hi all,

I'll give a brief description first

I have a mechanical engineering technology diploma.

The original program includes 4 semesters (2 years in total with summer breaks). However, I have failed some classes, which resulted in a year extend (so 6 semesters). I also had to extend my study permit by 1 year.

The diploma certificate I received states - 'Mechanical Engineering Techology'. I started in Sep 2015 and finished in May 2018.

My question is, Would this be considered as a 3 year diploma or 2 year?

It would be considered 2 years diploma only. Plus if this diploma is done outside canada, you need to get your assessment done by WES/IQAS. If they consider it as equivalent to 2 years diploma of canada then you may get points for that. Without Assessment you can be sure about nothing.

If its canada then no need for assessment. And It must be written on your Diploma certificate as well. Course duration is always mentioned on certificates. You cannot consider extra year that you took to complete as a year of your curriculum.
I hope that helps.
