Hello All.

I have a Bachelors degree in Architecture from Colombia and I am currently doing a Master's in Urban Planning in the US. According to the EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIAL ASSESSMENT CONVERSION TABLE found here
( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/ECA_table_EN.pdf ) I can get 22 points for
"A 3 year or more post-secondary credential in combination with any of the post-secondary educational credentials** listed below. This excludes secondary school credentials."
and the ** footnote is:

**Note: Post-secondary educational credentials could also include Post-Bachelor's or Post-Graduate Credentials as follows: Post-Bachelor's Certificate; Post-Bachelor's Diploma; Graduate Certificate; Postgraduate certificate; Postgraduate Diploma; a two-year Postgraduate Diploma, specializing in [name of discipline]; a one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]; and, Study Toward a Master's Degree.

My question is: how do I have my "Study Toward a Master's Degree" assessed? I've been told WES does not do such thing.

What other document can support this if I am invited to apply?

THANK YOU!!

Unfortunately, until you complete the Master's degree, it does not count as a "credential." So your highest credential is the bachelor's degree.
