Please note that unfortunately the 'CA' does not count as a qualification for CRS purposes. It is a 'professional designation' (not a Certificate or a Diploma). I got my Bachelors Degree ECA and I listed my CA qualification but did not get points for it. For summary I selected 'Bachelors Degree 3 years or more...' as I have the ECA and you are supposed to select the category supported by your ECA for your highest qualification.
As I said I did not get points for it but listed it anyway for full disclosure. Hope I did the right thing. I also think in order for them to exclude the Work Experience points during study the 'study' and the 'Work' must be mutually exclusive. As anyone who has done the CA will tell you, this is not the case. Hence work experience during taking the CA is counted in my opinion.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
