I am a Nigerian trained pharmacist and I have both Bachelor and Doctor of Pharmacy degree certificates. So will my Doctor of Pharmacy certificate been seen to be equivalent to doctoral level in the university (PhD) so I can get the maximum points for education?

Equivalancy can be better given by assessing Bodies such as WES , pharmacy board of canada etc
In your case pharmacy board of canada will give u equivalancy ( incase you are practising pharmacy) else go for WES

Sometimes what we assume equivalancy comes out different eg someone had masters but on credential evaluation it comes out bachelors and sometimes its masters so its better u send your documents to respective assessing body for credential evaluation

It will be evaluated as equivalent of a professional degree and that is what you should claim.

You will have to have your credentials assessed by an organisation like WES to know exactly what it will be counted as in Canada, as it depends a lot on the country and university you got your degree from.

You can use the free assessment tool on the WES website to get a rough idea of what the equivalence might be in the end.
