Hi, I had a quick question. On Canada's immigration site it says that a masters degree is worth 126 points. If we also send our Bachelor's degree is it worth an extra 112 points that it states on the site or are they worth 126 points combined?

Thanks in advance for your help

No, you don't get points for bachelors if you get masters points. Only the highest educational credential points will be awarded. However if you have foreign degree (non Canadian) then you should send both masters and bachelors for evaluation because some of the applicants do not get masters equivalency instead they receive post graduate diploma or bachelors degree equivalency for their masters. In case you do not get Canadian masters equivalency for your masters, you can claim points for "two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be three or more years long". For that obviously you would need to get your bachelors points as well, thus it is best to get evaluated both. You will not be charged extra for evaluating both of your masters and bachelors. If you receive masters equivalency then you will not require to mention your bachelors in education history, later after ITA you will mention it in personal history. To understand better about educational points please read this official page- https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/education-assessed/read-report.html

Hope it helps, Good Luck!
