I have recently filled out the EE profile and in the education section, I have filled only the Masters Degree which I just gained (Canadian degree) and since the computer algorithm awards points for the highest degree awarded, I am being awarded points for a Masters degree. Do I still need to declare my UG degree (It is from India).
Asivad pls help!!

You do not need to. However, if you do declare it with supporting ECA, your CRS score will increase as you will get additional points for two degrees.
Incorrect. They will still get the same points for Masters degree whether they have an ECA for their Bachelors or not.heeru_maan said:
Is it safe to assume that if a person declares their masters on their EE profile, their CRS score is automatically calculated has having two or more post secondary program credentials in the skills transferability section? And if it is, they would't need to provide an ECA or a copy of their bachelors degree after receiving an ITA?Asivad Anac said:
In the OP's case, wouldn't his CRS increase by at least 12 points if he declares his Bachelors?
Yes.heeru_maan said:
In fact having a Canadian Masters degree (or equivalent ECA) gets higher points in the Level Of Educations section than 'Two or more...". For the sake of Skills Transferability section, having a PhD/Masters/Entry-to-profession degree/Two or more degrees is treated in the same manner.
One need not provide ECA for a 'lower' credential when you have acquired ECA for a 'higher' credential.
That is interesting. Thanks. Do you have a source for the skills transferability part? I'd like to read up some more about this.Asivad Anac said:

Of course it does.heeru_maan said:
Take efforts to read the details in Skills Transferability and how the points are assigned. Compare that with the literature on how to read ECA report and you will understand that the highest points under ST are on offer for 'Two or more degrees...' and Masters/Entry-to-Profession/PhD are all at least equal to or greater than 'Two or more degrees...' hence they fetch you the highest points.
Hope that clarifies.
Hello Guys,
I have few queries after getting ITA, your every suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Question 1: I have got an ITA recently. I have started updating the form for myself and my spouse. All forms in my section i.e Primary Applicant is completed but while updating these forms in my spouse Personal information it is showing in progress and the reason for incompleteness of this section is my first name which is blank.
In my passport my first name is blank so according to that it is supposed to be blank in her section as well. For my section no such error is coming where I have left my first name blank but in spouse section I am not getting the reason why it is not accepting that as it is.
Question 2: While making my profile where the question is asked, "Does Applicant have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province or territory?" I putted yes for it as I have done 1 year 'Project Management' program in Canada but later I realize it was not skilled trade program.
So now I have got the ITA, I am afraid if they can take it as misrepresentation. I tried to recalculate my points by putting 'no' for this question but it does not affect my points. Any suggestions what should I do? Shall I decline my ITA? or let it be because it is not affecting my points. (My score is 472).
Question 3: I got my Educational Documents assessed from WES. While filling up my information online in WES website I put my First name in Small letters but last name was put in Capital Letters.Now when I received my credentials from them my name is showing as: LASTNAME, FirstName. So I just want to know if I will send the same to immigration with my PR Documents then will there be any issue because in all other documents name is shown as FirstName LAstName.?
Looking forward for your response and thanks in advance.
