1 diploma + 1 degree = 1 post-sec credential only?!

[crystloud]

Hi guys,

I had this confusion for a long time and I after some research and advice from senior people on this forum and friends who have already got through EE. I have added 2 levels of education. Keeping in mind to avoid any kind of misinterpretation(although CIC is the one who should be blamed for this)

First, I added my bachelors degree which came out to be equivalent to Canadian bachelors 4 years. For this credential i have added Bachelors Degree as the Level of education and this is what is written on my ECA report.

Second, I added my post secondary diploma which i did from Canada and it doesnt require ECA. So, i have added Level of education as one year post secondary diploma and highest level of education as 2 or more degrees/diplomas option and i see i have got full 128 points.

With this setup it seems i haven't misinterpreted anything and i am getting all the points i deserve. Just as a caution, when it comes to education points sometimes CIC takes a little longer to update. Lemme know what you guys think about it.

Overall Score 444
CRS - Human Capital - Age 110
CRS - Human Capital - Level of Education 128
CRS - Human Capital - First Official Language Proficiency 116
CRS - Human Capital - Canadian Work Experience 40
CRS - Skill Transferability - Education 50

Can you please let me know where I can select "highest level of education"? there is only "level of education".

Gary, please r u in Canada?

Hello Gary,

Please I would like to ask you about the level of Education for EE. I have two diplomas, the first is 3 years long and the second is two years long. I did ECA report, and the REPORT SUMMARY mentioned 3 Year diploma only.

However, In the credential Analysis; they mentioned both of my qualification, and both r recognized in Canada as
3 year Canadian diploma
2 year Canadian diploma

My lawyer said no, I can't choose two qualifications because my report summary does not show two qualifications.

Please I need your help if you can help with any information you might have? I am aware of the CIC definition of the two or more qualification.

Please help if you know someone who got his/her PR through EE with two qualification.

let me hear fro you. Thanks

In which case you can use "Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer"

ECA report only states highest credential

If 2nd credential is mentioned in analysis can we use above mentioned option?

Hi Gary and Ca85,

So here is my story. I have a Bachelors from India and I have received ECA report equivalent to Bachelors(4 years). Also I have a Bachelors from Canada. I have selected Two or more post secondary credentials with one at least 3 years or longer. I have not submitted my application yet as this issue is concerning me.

IMO, why CIC gave that option in the dropbox is because if any individual has two credentials(highest level). Otherwise, there is no point of choosing that option. What are your thoughts?

Post-Bachelor's Diploma
Graduate Certificate
Postgraduate certificate
Postgraduate Diploma
two-year Postgraduate Diploma, specializing in [name of discipline]
one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]

Hi heysoulsister
Thanks for posting this topic, I am at same situation that you have posted. I have 1 diploma and 1 degree. I got assessed by WES for both diploma and degree.

My WES report shows as at first header "Canadian Equivalency: Bachelors degree (4 years)", then Canadian equivalency for diploma is "High school diploma and Diploma (two years)" and for degree is "Bachelors degree (4 years)".

Could you tell me that is this equal to "Two or more Canadian post-secondary degrees or diplomas or equal (at least one must be for a program of at least three years) ".

Thanks.

Your Canadian equivalency is what shows up at the top of the page - in your case it is Bachelors Degree and that's what you'll have to choose while setting up your EE profile.

All the best!

Hey SoulSister and Canvis1,

If your Foreign degree is assessed as Canadian 4 years bachelors, then you put bachelors in your foreign degree and when you put your canadian education, select 2 or more degree option. I had also selected this and i have already got my passport request. So, i believe this is the way to fill in. There was another thread on this forum where somebody had emailed CIC and they confirmed it as well.
