Hi, so I'm answering CRS questions and this one is confusing me:

4) What is your level of education?
Enter the highest level of education for which you:

  • earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate or
  • had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did your study outside Canada. (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)
Note: a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate must either have been earned at an accredited Canadian university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute in Canada. Distance learning counts for education points, but not for bonus points in your profile or application.

I have a 4-year bachelor's degree from Pakistan and a 2 year post-graduate certificate from Canada. Which option is right for me to choose as it'll affect my score greatly?

1. Bachelor's degree (three or more year program)
2. Two or more certificates, degrees, or diplomas. One must be for a program of three or more years.

So please, if anyone can clarify and help me out, I'll be very grateful. Thanks!

As long as the 4 yr bachelor’s from Pakistan is assessed as a bachelor’s degree you would choose option 2z
