CRS - Spouse - Level of Education = Zero points with an MSc!

[tareqom]

Hi there,

My spouse has an MSc in Science, and we got her Degree accredited from the WES organization which would equal it to a Canadian MSc degree, however, we get zero points for her in the "CRS - Spouse - Level of Education" why is that?
I have only recently updated her education info, should we wait for a while to see the new points added?
I should also note that we only got WES to accredited the MSc, the Bachelors and the Baccalaureate certificates are not accredited.

I appreciate any advice here.

Best regards

strange... in any case CRS just shows the points, WES outcome is not checked at the instant you edit the profile

Thanks for the reply, I am guessing it might take some time (maybe a few hours?) until it is calculated. I recently discovered that you need to enter your electronic signature to confirm the changes, which is what I did, now the status of my application is "Transmitted" .

However, just to make sure: Do we usually need to have ALL the obtained education degree accredited and equalized to its Canadian counterparts? or should the highest one (MSc in our situation) suffice?

Just the highest and the changes usually take 24 hours.
