CEC Application - Academic year conflict

[shjay09]

Hello everyone,

I'm creating my CEC profile and got stuck in the education section. I took a 3-year/6 semesters Adv. Diploma optional co-op course, years 2017-2021.
I've completed 2 co-op terms and due to COVID, I was unable to find a job for my 3rd work term and finished college in April 2021.

My question is, do I mention that I did 4 academic years or 3? Does optional co-op count as an academic year?

Hi @shjay09

You should consult your university what is the number of academic years your course corresponds to. You can also request them to provide you course completion letter which can state the equivalent academic years for your course, and upload it along with your degree certificate later post-ITA for IRCC to refer.

Accordingly, fill up your application as confirmed by your university.
