Hi, I was just going through my EE profile and thought I would pose the following question. Sorry if it's been asked before. I have the following education:

1) Bachelors Degree (major: Accounting & Finance). I have an ECA done and it's equivalent to 'a Canadian 3 year degree ...'.
2) Chartered Accounting professional designation from Australia (needed to practice as a professional Accountant). Informed they cannot do an ECAS for it
3) Chartered Accounting professional designation from CPA Ontario (needed to practice as a professional accountant in Canada)

For (2) & (3), I've taken the less risky option and selected:
- '2 or more Certificates degrees or Diplomas...'

I was wondering if I should be selecting:
- 'Masters or professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession'

So confused at what the correct option is to select. Can anyone please help.

Thank you all for your replies

You have one degree only - the Bachelor degree. The chartered accounting designations are designations only (they are not degrees, diplomas or certifications).

No - you cannot select the Masters option.

So what option is the correct option to select? This seemed the most logical option to me since it did not fall into the following categories:

1) '1 year program at a University or college ...'
2) '2 year program at a University or college ...'
3) 'Bachelors degree or a 3 or more year program ...'
4) '2 or more certificates degrees or diplomas...'

If (4) is not the correct option what is?

You select: 3) 'Bachelors degree or a 3 or more year program ...' to cover everything. In other words, this one option covers your bachelor degree as well as your CAs.
