Full Time Work - Distance Learning Degree

[ainul123]

If someone completes his degree through distance learning/online study (WES Recognised) during his full time job, can he claim points for both under FSW program?

*Bump*

I'm curious too :'(

I am on the same boat but as far as know you can claim points as long as you have completed the degree.

Please update this forum by sharing your experience with Distance learning degree evaluation.

I think for FSW as long as a course is completed, points can be claimed for the course (if it has an ECA).

For foreign education, you must have an ECA, otherwise you get no CRS points.

Whether WES recognizes your course is a different matter. You should visit the WES website and check your course or email WES for an answer.

Is there a difference between Full time & Part time study weightage on EE score.

No, for study purposes you may only be awarded education points if the course is completed. If the education is foreign you need an ECA.

If the course is completed IRCC doesn't care whether you completed your course in the prescribed length of years per the Education Institution course outline or took longer. What matters is that the course is completed.

Please elaborate further, my concern is limited to Regular college Masters (Full time) vs Distance learning Masters (Part-time).
In both categories we will receive education points for course completion.
But since it is mentioned in the EE account to enter mode of education i.e. Full time vs Part Time, then would it make any difference to EE score of an individual.
Is there any disparity in score awarded to Full time (Regular college) education vs Part-Time (distance learning) education ?

If you go by guide then it is very clearly mentioned that if you've studied 30 hours per week then it would be considered as full time.

Rest you know what kind of course you've done.

I think you did not get the question .

It is about the impact on EE score and not the definition of Full-time study.

You rightly mentioned the difference between Full or Part time study by hours of weekly study, but the question remains whether the type (Full vs Part) makes a difference on the EE score or not.

I think the best way to check out would be to edit the EE account education section and re-check the respective scores at the end. But since I have not completed the EE account therefore I am not sure if that is possible to do.

Will update you about the findings, if any.

Thanks guys for indulging in this topic. I appreciate your kind inputs.

For user information: Following statement is mentioned in the Education Section with respect to Part time / Full Time

"You must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of your studies"

So If you pursued Distance learning course while you were employed and also if both work experience and study corroborate each other then you can mention "FULL TIME".

For this purpose it does not matter if the education was part time or full time. You claim points based on the assessment.

Hello,

I have had this experience.
I did my part time (weekend classes) Post Graduate Diploma (Finance) from Sybiosis University Pune. I was working full time during this period as well.

I got this evaluated from WES and the summary was
"Bachelor's Degree (4 years) and Post Graduate Diploma"

I did go ahead and claim points under Two or more degrees category and got an ITA.

Please do check if the university is recognized and it says so in your WES evaluation as well.

Note: I am still waiting for PPR so I can confirm the correctness of my understanding only once I get it.

Hi,

I have received ECA report from WES as below,

Canadian Equivalency Summary

Bachelor's degree(four years)


Credential Analysis

1. Canadian equivalency: Bachelor's degree(three years).

2. Canadian equivalency: Bachelor's degree(four years).

Remarks: The equivalency for this credential is stated in conjunction with study previously completed(see #1, above)

Please suggest what should I select in EE profile and how many entries for education
