Hi all,
I have done a Dual-Degree Program where my university in India had a tie-up program with GBC in Toronto.
The first 4 semesters were done in India and the remaining 2 in GBC, Toronto, Canada.
I received 2 separate degrees/diplomas for this :
1) BCA degree in India and transcripts of 1-6 semesters. (WES is already done for this)
2) Ontario College Advanced Diploma (apparently this is considered as a 3 years Diploma in Canada) with transcripts stating 4 and 5 semesters grades.
Now, to claim points as per CIC calculator for 2 or more Degrees/Diplomas you need to have :
- At least one course must be of 3 years or more -> Check ✔
- you must have 2 Degrees/Diplomas along with transcripts -> Check ✔
- you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count) -> Check ✔
- you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months -> Check ✔
Essentially, since both are actually the same course, but I received 2 separate degrees here and meet the above mentioned criteria, does this qualify to claim points for 2 or more Degrees/Diplomas under FSW Express Entry or is only considered as a single Bachelors?
