PLEASE DELETE THIS, IT'S a DUPLICATE THREAD. THE ORIGINAL ONE IS IN EXPRESS ENTRY SUBFORUM.
Hello people,
I am in kind of a corner case situation. I am trying to be as elaborative as possible here. I'd highly appreciate the help offered, and owe you a coffee if I reach a solution to this :/
I am in Toronto doing my graduate certificate at George Brown College for one year right now, and following are my details :
(To avoid the confusion, I state that here I am talking about the six-selection-factors grid of FSW category, and not the express entry points.)
My FSW points are 66/100 (need 67 to pass and be eligible for EE pool). Out of 66, I have 21 points under education category as I only have a Bachelors degree right now. Once my course completes, I intend to get one more point by securing 22 points under "Two or more Canadian post-secondary degrees or diplomas or equal (at least one must be for a program of at least three years)".
The problem is I keep hearing graduate certificate doesn't give you any point. How true is this ? If not, what options do I have ?
P.S. : (My present points are 66/100 in FSW and 413 in Express Entry points. My plan was to make them 67/100 in FSW and 460 in Express Entry as soon as the course completes. This was according to a thorough calculation by me, on the canada immigration website)
Further details :
The above pic is what FSW six-selection-factors page looks like. i agree that it doesn't mention certificate anywhere, it only lists diploma.
But the Express Entry page and Come-to-Canada testing tool clearly mentions diploma means a certificate too (refer the image below)
Bottomline being, I want the graduate certificate to give me one point in FSW grid so I qualify for Express Entry pool, and apply for PR with 460 CRS points.
Please helpppp!
