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

I need to report my situation here cause I want to be very precise in this part.

I did university for 5 years (3+2).
Pre WES assessment indicated my Education as a Master Degree.
I requested this to be recognized as a Master degree. After submitting my paper WES recognized it.
This master technically contain my Bachelor (3 years as well, but I never claimed it)

In the education form I simply claim the highest one (this one) as Master Degree.
I am given 135 points for this.
In the section related to Transferability factor my Master Degree trigger automatically 50 points.
So I have to assume that the master counts as 2 post secondary.
But will I have to upload the bachelor as well ?
Or would the Master be just fine ?
You're getting 50 points in Transferability for either good language results or Canadian work experience. You are fine with claiming just Masters as that is the WES equivalency you have obtained.

im getting 100 points there.
One section is because of canadian work experience (2yrs) AND 3+ foreign work experience.
The other section is related to your education: and it scores 50 if you have 2+ years of work experience AND 2 or more post secondary degree.

Now the point is...

I never claimed to have 2 post secondary I just claimed the master and it automatically got me 50 points.
So I must assume a SINGLE Master degree is like considered as 2 post secondary degree.
Which is right because I actually did 3 years of bachelor and then the +2 years, but technically It remain as 1.
I mean 1 TITLE but coming from 2 courses.

So this is where to me it is still not 100% clear.

In the chain of events, Master's degree is higher and thus gets more point than one or more undergraduate degrees. Since your WES report shows a Masters degree Canadian equivalent, you can skip your undergraduate degree (as this will not add or subtract from your points - it is no longer a factor) and fill/attach (when you get ITA) Masters degree only as well as the WES report.

Of course in the education session just upload your highest one, no need for the lowers.
BUT what is still not 100% sure is:
Does it count as they were 2 ?

You need 2 to trigger those 50 points in the other section (the trasferability one) where they say:

2+ years of Canadian Work Experience AND 2 or more post secondary degree ....


Now...
the calculator gave me 50 automatically even if I never technically claimed 2. I just claimed the master.
It is a fact that you can't have the Master if you didn't get the bachelor (which I actually have).
But, again, to be precise I only claimed 1.
So I'm just wondering if they will eventually ask the bachelor later on for some reason.

You're getting 50 in Transferability because of the combination of your Masters + your English language results/Canadian work experience (you'd know which one).

Masters > 2 or more post-secondary programs; they won't ask you for your Bachelors.

HI All

can some one please clarify the doubt regarding a 3yr(B.Comm) +2 year (M.comm) degree.

What will it be considered as?A masters?
I have been reading on forum that EE profile doesn't give option for 2 or more degrees please guide me!!
WES equivalency says Bachelor degree(4 years) and 1 year graduate study.

Thank You

This will count as 2 or more degrees. The option still exists. Check the calculator.

My CRS - Skill Transferability - Certificate of Qualification is 0 can anyone explain what could be the reason

and for two or more degrees I get 119 points should it not be 128?

Your Skill Transferability is zero because of lower English proficiency (IELTS score) versus their criteria.

If you're married, then you will get 119 points - assuming your partner also does not have two or more degrees.

My IELTS Score is L8 R7 W6.5 S7.5 and I have two or more degrees and spouse has a bachelors degree

should the Skill Transferability score be still 0?
