I have created EE profile in CEC. My husband just finished his PhD from a Canadian University. He got the official degree completion letter from the university after submission of his thesis but his convocation is in June. Therefore, he wouldn't get the certificate before June. So can I claim points for his degree? If so what I suppose to check in the EE profile? I would appreciate if anyone could clarify.

Thank you!

Yes. You can submit the letter and/or his transcript for proof of completion, along with a brief explanation about the date of the convocation and awarding of the degree.

Thank you for your reply. In express entry profile for his education should I then select " canadian degree or certificate awarded"?

Hello, would you please tell me what did you decided at the end? Currently, I am in the same situation. Did you get your PR approved?
