Distance MBA considered for PR?

[Navsidhu33]

Hi,

I am planning to apply for Canadian PR. I wanted to know if distance MBA is considered for PR?

WES considers Indian MBA as 1 year course only so the CRS score drops.
I was thinking to get the ECA done from IQAS as they evaluate it as a Masters only. However, my concern is whether distance MBA is considered at all for PR?

I will not be eligible for PR (other than PNP) if MBA is not considered.

Also, what are the chances of receiving Ontario PNP at 400-430 points? One of my friends had applied for Saskatchewan PNP but never got any ITA.

Please advise.

Regards
Navjot

Depends on school you are attending. What is your NOC as it is low for Ontario.

I have double degrees mate, one of them was distance education. (Bachelor's degree) Both IRCC and WES considers distance education as equal to any other method of education. Don't worry about it, but the institution you got your degree from greatly affects WES's evaluation decision.

In short; I can say that IRCC doesn't have any problems with distance education as long as WES or other recognized institutions recognize your degree.

My NOC=A as per my work experience which is SAP BO Admin (technical). 9 years of experience in IT.

Thanks for clarifying. If not WES, I hope IQAS will recognise it and won’t be an issue.

That is not a NOC but look at Alberta.

Am I not eligible for Ontario if I score between 430-463? Depends on IELTS exam now but checking my options.
And If my distance MBA is evaluated by IQAS, what option should I select while submitting my file, two or more degrees or Master’s?
My score reduces by 7 points if I select “two or more” degrees.

If it is Masters equivalent then Masters. Your NOC is a 4 digit code.

NOC is 2173 for software Engineer.

Maybe Alberta or Saskatchewan (you need to be licensed).
