Dear Jkal,

Are you sure that I should choose 2nd option? Somebody here suggests me to choose number 1.

What do you think? Thanks for your suggestion.

Dear JKal,

I just found my answer rightly I think. It should be Option 1

I got my ECA report from WES mentioned that

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Two Bachelor's degrees (Four years)

Credential: Bachelor of Science Canadian Equivalency : Bachelor's Degree (4 Years)
Credential: Master of Business Administration Canadian Equivalency : Bachelor's Degree (4 Years)

Now in express entry i have following two choices:-

1) Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute (112 points)

2) Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years (119 points)

I am confused which choice should I select. Please help.

You have completed your Bachelor degree and then master degree. WES has recognized both as Bachelor degree but TWO different degree so my answer would still be 2:-


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp#a1


(Maximum 140 points) Without a spouse or common-law partner
(Maximum 150 points)
Less than secondary school (high school) 0 0
Secondary diploma (high school graduation) 28 30
One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute 84 90
Two-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute 91 98
Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute 112 120
Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years 119 128
Master's degree, OR professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession (For “professional degree,” the degree program must have been in: medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, law, chiropractic medicine, or pharmacy.) 126 135

Hi Jkal,

I have a few queries regarding documents uploading.

1. Do I need to produce a letter from all banks that I hold an account in or just the ones whose funds I want to show?
We do not need to provide bank statements for 6 months, right? All we need is a letter on the letterhead from each bank saying that these are my bank accounts, these are the dates since the accounts have been active and these are average 6-monthly balances in those accounts, right?
2. How do I show the money in my wife's accounts for Proof of Funds? There is a button to upload a doc for POF under the primary applicant's section, but not under the spouse's. Should I just append the letter from her bank with my POF docs?
3. A query regarding Employment records is that I joined work in City A and after 2 years got transferred to City B for 1 year. Now in my work history, I've just entered 1 row for my 3-year tenure with the company, & given the Place as City B (because the tenure ended there). In my address history though, I've mentioned 2 years in City A & 1 year in City B. Is it the correct thing to do? City A is mentioned in my Offer Letter (which I may choose to not upload) & the pay stubs of the first 2 years. City B is only mentioned in my last year's pay stubs. Relieving letter doesn't mention any city. LOR shouldn't be a problem. Should I delete one of the locations from my address history to avoid confusion? What would you have written as your place of work in case of a transfer under the same job & same NOC?

Hello everyone,

My husband is the primary applicant for EE. We got only 2 points for spouse education although I have a Master's degree. Is it because I do not have an ECA report? DO i need to get an ECA report for claiming full 10 points? My husband has a complete ECA report. Please help.

Thank you

Ofcourse, you need to have ECA to claim the points.

Hello all

If passport expiry is In November, and I'm waiting for an ITA, should I get it renewed or is it okay?

In my opinion, you should get a new one.

Hi Jkal,
I have similar question for level of education if you can share your experience.

So I have 2 degrees. One bachelor's degree WES evaluated and 1 year post grad certificate from Canada.

When I am making my express entry profile under Study section, they are asking my details of my education.
so I have made two separate entries for both the degree.

In both the degree they ask for level of education.

For bachelor's degree they ask if it is eca evaluated then I select 'Yes' , further they ask level of education according to ECA. So I select bachelor's degree. In same form they again ask for level of education so I again select bachelor's degree.

Then I created one more entry for post grad certificate. In which they ask for level of education so I selected One year course at university or college or trade school option.


I have highlighted two points in this post where I have doubt about which option to select.
Please let me know if I have to select this option : two or more degree with one atleast three years or more. Also please let me know in which entry from above I have to select this option (in which highlighted point i have to select this option) .

Thanks.

In my opinion, you should choose "two or more degree with one atleast three years or more" as you have a Bachelor degree and also have another one:-
CIC site:-
if the foreign national has two or more post-secondary program credentials and at least one of them was issued at the completion of a post-secondary program of three years or more,
