Hi Harshita, yes you do have a Canadian bachelor's degree. Doesn't matter if you were able to complete it sooner by transferring credits from your previous degree. So your highest level of education is "Two or more degrees, diplomas or certificates" and you also have a Canadian degree. Good luck!Hi all. I have a question. I'll be very thankful if some one can provide me an answer.
I have a bachelors degree from India which I sent to WES for evaluation and it shows Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (three years).
I moved to Canada 2015 and when I moved I transferred my University credits to a Canadian University in Ontario. I studied two years in a Canadian university where I did my bachelors with a major in economics, I only had to study two years in order to get a three year degree because of my previous university degree credits I received, I basically have two bachelors degree now.
The question is what should I put under the education part when I file my application for PR? Can someone please help me.
1. What is your level of education?
Enter the highest level of education for which you:
Note: a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate must either have been earned at an accredited Canadian university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute in Canada. Distance learning counts, but only if it made up less than half your study.
- earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate or
- had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did your study outside Canada. (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)
2. Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?
Note: to answer yes:
- English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study
- you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge
- you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
- you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months
Wow!! Could you please let me know which certificate is it.Some 6 month courses are also evaluated as one year programs. Depends on the program and university. But yes norm is 1 year.
Sorry I can't really help you with that. That completely depends on the university and the programWow!! Could you please let me know which certificate is it.

Hi All,
I have sent a query regarding this to WES and they reevaluated my credentials and issued a new report stating my summary as Diploma 2 Years and Bachelors Four Years. Now i can choose two or more option without any doubt.
Hi @Som86Ashu_h_89,
What did you get evaluated to, did CIC accept your 2 or more degree?
Have you got an ECA done?I have done
A one year diploma in opthalmic assistance
and after that a
Four year Optometry degree course
Which category do I fall under ?
are you sure... i guess in some other thread you said Yes to a similar question..
Yes. @GCMSBuddy is right,1st - It says 2 years Diploma
2nd - It says 2 years secondary high school diploma
They are different and hence the answer was different.
If you can get the ECA equivalency changed to 2 years diploma, then you can claim points for 2 or more degrees too.
I think WES might have updated their assessment policy. Maybe it's different assessment criteria for different major (IT and Engineering).Yes i thought of trying icas
But i wish to know.. is there any case in which wes has re-evaluated? or any correction made in eca report?
