Level of Education -confusion!!!

[aaro27]

Hi all,

i have one question regarding level of education... i did my B.Pharm ( 4 year course) and then i studied in canada for 2 year Pharmacy technician course...

my question is: do i qualify for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" (which is for 128 points) or

do i qualify only for, "Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" ( which is for 120 points"

i have created my EE profile and have 407 points (including ECA for B.Pharm) , in which i got 120 points for the latter...!!!

i would really appreciate any comments on this or if any one has the similar issue...I am a PGWP and working for over a year in Canada and also i am LMIA exempt...!!!the former will help me qualify for 50 points on skills transferability education ( for which i have 26 points now)

thanks

Did you have your ECA report from WES or PEBC ???

 

[aaro27]

yes i have my ECA from PEBC

I am a pharmacist too. I have my ECA report from pebc too . it states bachelor of science in pharmacy degree 5 years . I tink you should apply as (Master degree or entry to practice professional degree) not bachelor degree

are you sure about this???

cause I read that in cic too...but since they ask abt the licensing authority I thought I wouldn't qualify for that...!!!

I tried to contact CIC help line for the "two or more certificate" thingy, but they seem to clarify anything,,,
