Education level for EE

[azarchick]

Hi guys!
I have a question on the education level needed for EE. I have my diplomas evaluated, and according to the WES report I have:

Diploma (two years) and bachelor's degree (four years) which as far as I understand should give me "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" that equals 119 points for education (With spouse) and 50 points for Skill transferability factors - Education (for CLB 9 or more).

But the problem is that upon completion of the EE profile I have only 112 points for education and 25 for Skill transferability factors, which means that only one diploma is counted. I can't understand where the problem is(

Please can you share any ideas on this?

You have to enter the degree and diploma separately. In your case, enter bachelors degree in one tab with details and in another select two or more degree or diplomas so the system will pick up both and you will be awarded points for both. I was in the same situation when I applied for mine, initially.
Hope it helps !

To "count" as a 2nd degree or diploma, the 2-yr diploma would have to be post-graduate - completed after your bachelors degree, and be classified as 2nd bachelors/post-graduate/post-undergraduate/masters

If you did a 2 year diploma that contributed to the requirements for the bachelors degree, that would not be considered a 2nd degree/diploma.

What if the Diploma is from a different program and university? Like you completed a Diploma in Electrical Engineering back in your home country, then come to Canada and do a new 4-year Bachelor program in Computer Science? I believe you can choose the "Two or more degrees" for this situation as well.

Not according to the info currently posted on the CIC website. If the first degree was at least 3 years, then it would count. It may be that others have gotten this accepted in the past, but according to the current info posted, the Bachelor's degree would be the highest degree awarded.

Oh, that's true. I haven't checked the ECA page for quite a while. It's much better to read and understand than before now. Thanks.

Thanks for your answers!
That's really sad. I studied all in all 4 years at college and 3 years at a university which is 7 years, still Bachelor's. While those who study 5 years at a university get Master's :-X
