Does Quebec immigration accept distance education degrees?

[candyman2121]

Hi,

I have a two year long Diploma from a college in Ontario and I also worked for some time in Canada, but I had to come back to India as my PGWP was expiring. I'm thinking about doing a top-up Bachelors degree now from a UK university but it will be over the internet(distance learning). I was wondering if I'm able to get a UK distance education degree, will I be able to apply as a skilled worker with Quebec immigration? Do they accept online degrees?

Thanks!

Hello Candyman2121

I foud some inifo on the Forum kindly check: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/is-distance-education-valid-for-canada-immigration-t182986.0.html

I got this info too: correspondence long distance learning will be accepted as education as long as the school from which one is graduated, is an "accepted" school in one's domain. In continuation to this, the actual course of study must be a discipline that is formatted in a manner that is acceptable as would normally be taught at full time educational facilities. In order to determine if the school that one has attended is an institution that has any relative credibility, one will have to request an accreditation letter from the educational accreditation authority in the country within which the school operates/registered. This service normally must be requested a few weeks before an answer and documentation is mailed to the applicant and the cost of this service is normally the responsibility of the applicant.


I have no personal experience to share about this but this is what I could found on the web
I hope it could help.

Thanks for replying. I guess it's a mystery indeed.
