If my bachelor’s degree is only equivalent to a diploma (according to WES), and the options are Diploma/Certificate, plus I have a certificate here in Canada, is there nothing higher than those two? If they’re considered the same level, should I just select the option that says I completed my highest education in Canada? I’m confused, haha. If WES had assessed my degree as a bachelor’s, I would have just selected bachelor’s and left the “if you completed your highest education in Canada…” blank, but since they’re equivalent, my bachelor’s ended up as a diploma/certificate. So, if they’re both in the same category, can I also select yes to the “if you completed your education in Canada…” option? Sorry, I am confused.

I have a question too, i have a masters degree from outside canada which is my highest level of education. A bachelor's degree from alberta. The alberta pnp, AOS, they have an EOI guidelines. When i filled the EOI, it asked for highest level education >> masters, then leading question is if highest education is from canada then location >> alberta or any other state. My question is that my highest education is not from canada so what can i choose? I lose points if i do not answer the leading question. Plus WES awards my masters post-grad diploma and IQAS awards as masters, if i use WES then i can use my canadian bachelors as highest degree and get points for location being in alberta. If i use IQAS, then i get points for masters degree and no points for location. What should i do?
