My guess would be since the program is in its bachelors level, you have one major degree of 5 year. And since you complete 17 years, I would assume the balance 12 years was at your school or college.

So, I think its 20 points. And the quota for pharma. is getting full.

Subsection 78(3) of the IRPR provides that points are to be awarded on the basis of the single
educational credential that results in the highest number of points. For example, an applicant with a
master’s degree that was completed after 16 years of education, and who spends an additional year
in school after obtaining it would be awarded 22 points. That the applicant spent an additional year in
school does not turn a 16 year master’s degree into a 17 year master’s degree and would not result in
being awarded 25 points

Only if your 5 year program in pharm. is equal to a masters degree, then you will get 22 or even 25 points.

Your application maybe returned to you if you do not qualify because of the pass mark. Make sure you get a correct evaluation before submission of your packet.

Yes rightly said, the law clearly is stated in the guide. 20 points for the first bachelors degree regardless of its duration, even if it were 8 year bachelor degree.

Now i can't really understand: 22 or 25 or 20 :-X ?
the education system in Algeria is a francophonic one ; it means that you study 6 years in the primary school , 3 years in the middle school and 3 years in the secondary ; at the scondary school you pass the BAC exam , you can join University only if you succeed at this exam....

i don't have a Bachelor degree like in Anglo-saxon countries , i have a Diploma of pharmacist(BAC+5) ; i think
it's the equivalent of a master degree
