Yet another "Two or more ceretificates..." question

Can't you transform one of them into a 3 year degree? As in, take additional courses and get a qualification equivalent to a 3 year degree.
Get your ECA report first and see what they put it as an equivalence.
Who knows? They might equal it to a 4 year degree.

I am sure it is equivalent of 4 years, but what difference would it make?
As I understand for two diplomas they accept: 1) full bachelors degree (in my case 4 year degree) and 2) 1 year postgrad degree (which I unfortunately dont have)
But is it possible if I send both diplomas they could count these as 4+4, 2 diplomas?

So you're looking for the extra points associated with two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.
Having just the 4-year degree is not enough according to your calculation?
You never know, but i doubt they would count it as 4 + 4. More like 2 + 2 = 4 year equivalent.
I think you could do a 6-month certificate and still get the extra points.

Your best hope is that the 2+2 gets a 4 years bachelors equivalency and then you will have to do a 1 year diploma to claim points for 2 or more. Otherwise, your current credentials will only gain you points for a 2 year program.
Do they specify that somewhere?
All i see from the wording is:
Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years
For the record, i think you're right.
I'm just curious where they state this explicitly.

Hi All,
My Spouse has done 3 years diplom---> bachelor's degree(3 years with lateral entry)--> 1 year post graduate diploma.
The ECA report summary says:
Bachelor's degree(4 years) and post graduate diploma(1 year)
Now how should we add this to his express entry profile to gain points of Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.

this is interesting actually, if I could do 6 month course and claim second diploma option, that would help me a lot
This is a list of all valid ECA results and the minimum equivalency is one year.
