Note: Medical doctor degrees are generally first-level university credentials, in the same way that a
Bachelor of Law or a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology is a first level, albeit “professional”
degree and should be awarded 20 points. If it is a second-level degree and if, for example, it
belongs to a Faculty of Graduate Studies, 25 points may be awarded.
If a bachelor's credential is
a prerequisite to the credential, but the credential itself is still considered a first-level degree, then
22 points would be appropriate.
It is important to refer to how the local authority responsible for
educational institutions recognizes the credential: i.e., as a first-level or second-level or higher
university credential.

I am not sure and neither am I an IO, but I think you should be awarded a minimum of 22, if not 25.

22, because you definitely have 2 degrees and I am sure 5 years+4 years =9years
And, for Primary + secondary Education you must have a minimum of 10 years.
(19 years exceeds the minimum requirement).

As i don't know the full history of your educational background , I can only assume.
Let's see what others have to say.
