ECA - What Certificates and Diplomas are recognized by WES et al for Express Entry

[billal.zah]

In Express Entry CRS Tool (Comprehensive Ranking System), there are different options for Education with different points.

One of the options is:

"Two or more certificates, diplomas, degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years"

I want to know what certificates and diplomas are acceptable for this.
I already have a bachelors degree. I want to know what certificates and diplomas are accepted so I can study for them and obtain them asap. If I dont know which are accepted my effort and time will be wasted.

Unfortunately I did not get any response from WES or other bodies designated by Canadian immigration authority to assess education credentials.

For instance, some globally recognized certifications relevant to my profession are
- CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor)
- CIA (Certified Internal Auditor)
- Oracle Application certifications, etc

I would really like to find out if these certifications in particular, and what others in general are acceptable for Express Entry.

Only College or school level Diploma or Degrees are evaluated equivalent to Canadian Study.
Certifications are not.

The Diploma refers to those courses which one opts after 10th or 12th class at Government Institutes.

But ACCA is a certification and it is assessed as equal to a Canadian Bachelors degree.

Did you mention ACCA???

Did you mention ACCA???

I already have an ACCA membership and other people have confirmed that its assessed as equivalent to a Canadian Bachelors degree. The confusion is over the additional certification/diploma that is required in "Two or more..." option.

My point being that if ACCA, despite being a professional certification, is assessed equal to Canadian Study, what other certifications are? I'm sure ACCA is not a unique exception. If so where is it mentioned?

There are certain institutes which are valid for Evaluation. There is no certain list however you can refer to following link which has list of such evaluated under IQAS.

If you have a Bachelors degree and ACCA then you are already eligible for "Two or More Certificates"

By the way, if your education is from Pakistan, then you must join following group. We had a lot of similar questions, there are some locals who can really help you in this case.
