Most common ECA Question is Back!

I know this has been asked numerous times but still I need to confirm as I'm not consulting any lawyer or consultant at the moment! I just got my evaluation from WES and it says:

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY

Bachelor's degree (three years) and bachelor's degree (four years)



Name on Credential: XXXX

Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution

Country: India

Credential: Bachelor of Computer Applications

Year: 2013

Awarded By: XXXXX

Status: Recognized Institution

Major/Specialization: Computer Applications

Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (three years)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Name on Credential: XXXX

Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution

Country: New Zealand

Credential: Postgraduate Diploma

Year: 2016

Awarded By: Unitec Institute of Technology

Status: Recognized Institution

Major/Specialization: Computing

Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

Now does that comes to:
1) 120 Point: Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute.

2) 128 Point: Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years


It does make a big difference for me as option one will get me 42X points whereas second option will get me 455 points Waiting for responses as it is of quite importance to me. Thanks in Advance!

I would be inclined to say (2) - Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.
Both of them in fact are "three or more years". The criteria don't imply that the diplomas/degrees can't be for the same level (e.g. two Bachelor degrees).

You qualify for two or more certificates

Yeah I think same, as in first point they said bachelor degree on not degrees at university not universities!

(1) is definitely meant for a single Bachelor's degree. Anything added on top of it (any diploma/degree/certificate) that WES acknowledges as such, would give pts. for (2). So you will get 128pts.

You 100% sure?

You again ... welcome back mate...
I will also agree and go with "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years"
