Hello all,
My question is regarding the aspect of the CRS system regarding highest education. I have entered my degree, (which is a bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutical Science from an Egyptian University), as a Bachelors Degree, and received the 112 points for education. This, ofcourse, was after I received my ECA and it read that my degree was equivalent to a 4 year Bsc. Degree.
It was later brought to my attention that a bsc. in pharmacy MAY be considered as a "Professional Degree needed to practice in a Licensed Profession", and thus is equal (in CRS points) to a Masters Degree, and thus be eligible for 126 points, (check the CIC website under 'How to read your ECA report'). Since my spouse has the same degree, needless to say this may guarantee me an ITA. I am worried, however, that if I change it and then submit my papers after receiving an ITA I would be deemed lying on my application and be barred for 5 years, so I need to make absolutely sure.
Can anyone help with a previous example or experience?
Much thanks in advance and good luck to all!
