Note : Three or more years of Bachelor's degree in a Computer Science/Information Technology or 3 years relevant work experience is needed to be eligible to study Web Design and Development at Conestoga College. But I didn't submit my Undergraduate Degree Certificate or Respective WES report or my 3 years of work experience certificate to ONIP. I believe this might be the reason for rejection. But I want to make sure what might be the exact reason for the refusal in my case. Please help me guys.

Regulation 422/17 (General):
Proof that you have obtained either,
A. a degree or diploma from an eligible Canadian institution that takes at least two
years to complete if pursued on a full-time basis, or
B. a degree, diploma or certificate from an eligible Canadian institution that takes at
least one year to complete if pursued on a full-time basis and that requires the
completion of a degree as an admission requirement,
and that more than half of the requirements necessary to obtain the degree, diploma
or certificate were obtained while lawfully residing and studying in Canada.
Or,
A letter from the eligible Canadian institution indicating that you have completed all the
requirements necessary to obtain the degree, diploma or certificate described above
and that more than half of the requirements necessary to obtain it were obtained while
lawfully residing and studying in Canada.
This is consistent with the policy guidance published on the ministry’s website:

• a degree or diploma that takes at least two years to complete if you study on a
full-time basis, or
• a degree, diploma or certificate that takes at least one year to complete if you
study on a full-time basis and that requires a completed degree as an admission
requirement
You must also have completed more than half of your studies while living and studying
in Canada.
• You presented documentation that indicates completion of 1-year program in
Canada. It does not appear that this program is eligible as per prescribed criteria,
as it does not require the completion of a degree as a pre-requisite.

Conestoga College that was conferred in April 2021. The credential and
the transcript indicate that this was a two-year program.

degree, and admitted holders of college diploma, it does not meet the
