Hi all
Im a bit confused over which degree I should use for the express entry visa.I hold a Masters degree in Public health and a bachelors degree in pharmacy (a professional degree).Im skeptical about using my Bachelors degree as i would have to use PEBC to asses my qualifications which is more time consuming,expensive and hectic as im required to send documents showing my licensure etc. So...

1)Can I still get maximum points (135 CRS points) If i just get my Masters degree assesed say by WES and either leave out my Bachelors degree or also get it assesed by WES and not PEBC (the one required for licensure)

If you are sure that your Master will be evaluated as Masters by WES, then go ahead with the evaluation. If you want to work in Canada as pharmacist and need a license, you will have to go through PEBC anyway.

Also, if you do not need a license, then WES can evaluate your Bachelors degree too.
