yes, but in an accumulated way.

for example, if u had a total of 16 year and 4 months study b4 the masters & ur highest qualification b4 the masters was an Hons. degree; u have studied full time for 8 motnhs for the masters, fully competed this masters degree course, passed all the exams & got the certificate from the university; then ur education years will be = 16 years 4 motnhs + 8 months = 17 years & ur highest qualiofication= Masters.

if the above are correct, u will get 25 points for education

You will only get points for the Bachelor, and if it took 14+ years 20 points.

Hi PMM,

Thank you for the response.

I'm not worried about the points but in the initial application form, How many years educational experience I should mention?

Once again, I have Bachelors' degree (3 Years)+ Post Graduate Diploma (1 Year)+ Post Graduate Diploma (2 years).

I have mentioned 18 years under total years of education in IMM appilcation form, so can you please advise me.

Cheers

20 either way, BA with 15 years or 2 year diploma with 14 years. Just add up the years, Just because it took someone 23 years or so to get a bachelor, if the normal time frame in their country is 15 years the max point is 20. A person could have diploma after diploma after diploma. The years will be counted separately.

Thank you PMM.
It it clear now that points will be 20. What about calculating number of years of education for answering following questions? Can we write
5 Years (Primary) + 5 Years (Secondary) + 5 Years (University/College) + 1 Year (Post Graduate Diploma) + 2 Years(Post Graduate Diploma) = 18 years (Total)?

1) "Application for Permanent Residence in Canada: Question 12" Total number of years of education? Should we check both 'Bachelor degree' and 'Trade/Apprenticeship'?
2) "Schedule 1 Background / Declaration : Question 10" Number of years of education at each level like such as primary, secondary, university/college, and trade school?
