Syrust; On CIC website there are two things.
First is the Definitions:
1. Full-time studies — At least 15 hours of instruction per week during the academic year, including any period of training in the workplace that is part of your studies.
2. Full-time equivalent studies — The length of time that it would have taken to complete a program of study on a full-time basis, but was actually completed on a part-time or accelerated basis.
Second is the example lets see:
If you studied less than the number of years listed with your highest degree or diploma, you must award yourself the points that match your years of study.
• Example 1: If you have a master's degree but have completed only 15 years of full-time study, award yourself 22 points.
• Example 2: If you have a three- or four-year bachelor's degree, and at least 14 years of education, award yourself 20 points.
So I think If they calculate the number of full time studies then 14 years but on the other hand if Full-time equivalent studies then I have spend 3 years for BA & 2 years for MBA then it covers the definition number 2;
Please correct me if I am wrong...
I got fever after thinking about all this.. LOL :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
HI Rawlin
your second set with two examsples
Example 1: If you have a master's degree but have completed only 15 years of full-time study, award yourself 22 points.
This one gives you idea about the point system of person you asked..
They have grade 12 and also diploma of three years so it should go for 22 points.
Second exmaple
Example 2: If you have a three- or four-year bachelor's degree, and at least 14 years of education, award yourself 20 points.
This one goes for people who just have degree for example most of people do grade 12 and go for B-Tech of 4 years like i have alot of friends here they got 20 points.
so in your case which you provided
grade 12 with 3 years diploma this is full time and BA and Masters in part time.. comes in first example
As i said before it should be 22 points..
sometime visa officers don't take alot of pressure of work and they just send files back for no reason (Visa officers are not MBA or Degree holders, to get into Immigration office as Clerk you need higher secondary education) they can do mistakes too and they do.
Case of 2009, I studied here in 2008 and then worked for one year in 2009.
according to MI1 (you are eligible to apply for Immigration if you studied in canada for one year or you have worked one year in NOC code O,A and B) I had my one year experience and all the required points with 6 other factors.
Me and two of my friends applied all with same education, experience and everything but when we sent files then one guy got his application approved and me and other friend got files back saying we didn't study in canada for one year or didn't work in canada for one year as per requirement (But we did both)..
I gave this example just to say that these guys do alot mistakes.
whoever information you provided ask them to consult some lawyer or consultant.
Thanks
