This post, I believe would clear some confusion about 2 or more degrees.
CABA said:
Hi,
My ECA reads somewhat like this
Canadian Equivalency Summary - Bachelor's Degree (4years)
Credential Analysis 1 - Bachelor's degree (4 years)
Credential Analysis 2 - Bachelor's degree (3 years)
What should I choose while submitting Education Section? "Two or more degrees" or "Bachelor's degree"
What is the relevance of Summary section in ECA report?
Yes, you CAN choose 2 or more degrees. I'd like to explain this a bit because there is a LOT of confusion surrounding this.
This is what is mentioned on the CIC site -
Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees
Important notice: One must be for a program of three or more years.
ECA assessment results:
>>A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree
PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school), OR:
Post-Bachelor's Certificate
Post-undergraduate certificate
Post-Bachelor's Diploma
Post-undergraduate diploma

Study Toward a Master's Degree
>> Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> Secondary school (high school diploma)
here's the link - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/eca-conversion.asp
People have completely missed to notice the "
PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school)" clause. See, what that sentence means is - If you have 2 credentials AND one of them is at least 3 years long, then you could choose 2 or more degrees if the second credential is ANYTHING THAT IS AVAILABLE BELOW THIS SECTION (which includes all the below -
>> Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
OR
The any one from the list that is provided under the "2 or more degrees section" -
Post-Bachelor's Certificate
Post-undergraduate certificate
Post-Bachelor's Diploma

Graduate Certificate
Graduate Certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
