Hi all,

I'm planning to apply in CEC category from India. I have completed 12 yrs of schooling + 3 yrs of Engineering diploma. After that I have done 3 yrs of Engineering degree thru distance learning.

Is there any issue due to this distance learning degree?

Pls advise on this.

Thanks in advance.

If you end up working in Canada for 1 year (in a skilled position), then it doesn't matter where or how you get your degree.

Your challenge would be getting a work permit and acquiring the skilled experience to be eligible for the CEC class. Engineering is generally a restricted profession requiring provincial certifications, so you will likely have barriers to contend with trying to work as an engineer in Canada with that diploma.
