Express Entry profile creation

[Sanjay Sridhar]

Hi All,

Apologies for the repost of a similar question.

WES report certifies my education as "Bachelor's Degree and PostGraduate Diploma" . Now I'm trying to create Express entry profile. How should I add my education credentials in the profile.?? Should I add them as 2 Bachelor degrees as "Two or More Degrees" option is unavailable while creating.

Requesting for an input on this at the earliest.

Thanks,
Sanjay

If you have TWO Bachelor’s degrees, or one Bachelor’s AND a two year college diploma, choose – “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”

This is on the canda.ca CRS tool. It's very clear...

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
In CRS tool the option of "Two or More Degree certificates" is present but while creating the Express Entry profile that option is not seen in the drop down. So in my case since I have got "Bachelor's + Postgraduate Diploma" should I add them as 2 bachelor's or should I add one as Master's and other as Bachelor.

Thanks,
Sanjay

You add them one by one.
Usually chronological, enter your first education that you got evaluated.
Fill in the time period accordingly.
Choose, you were awarded a certificate, degree etc.
In the bottom portion, select the ECA authority, select what you were awarded for that education, evaluation number and date etc.
Then click add.
This will create a row of one of your educational credentials.

Do the same for the other. Remember to select relevant equivalency for both.

After adding both of them, save and next.

Both the credentials will appear in the final profile.

Hi Rajapanesar,

My Master Degree has been certified as PostGraduate Diploma. While adding the credentials PostGraduate Diploma is not listed in the drop-down so what do I choose while adding this credential. For Bachelor's, I do see an Bachelor Degree as an option.

Thanks,
Sanjay

You do see an option for diploma, right.
You need to select that.

Hi Rajapanesar,

I see the following options,
1. None or Less than secondary
2. Secondary Diploma (High School Graduation)
3. One year program at a university, college or technical school
4. Two year program at a university, college or technical school
5. Bachelor's Degree or a three or more year program at a university, college or technical school
6. Master's Degree or Professional Degree
7. Doctoral Level University Degree(PhD)

In my case I will add 2 records one for Bachelor's Degree but not sure about the second record which was master's degree but certified as PostGraduate Diploma(1year) by WES.

Thanks,
Sanjay

It should be 3. or 4. depending on the duration of equivalent pg diploma awarded on ECA.

Also DO NOT tick this is my current study. Leave it unticked so that you can input end dates.

Will I be considered for "Two or More Certificates" if I choose option 3 for my Master's..??

 

[rajapanesar]

Yes.
I had a friend select the same and get the same profile CRS score as the CRS calculator suggested.

Had an equivalent 4 yr bachelor's for 3 years bachelor's and a 1 yr PG diploma for 2 year master's.
