Hi all, My passport has been requested for visa stamping and I am currently trying to do a little bit of home work before I actually move to Canada. I have completed 15 years of full time study 10 + 2 + 3 college degree from India. Is this recognised as equivalent to bachelors degree in Canada or does it require 16 years like the USA. I am currently in the UK where I faced no such problem.
Need some advice on my Education equivalant in Canada

What do you mean?
Is it regarding employment, furthering your education or having it assessed and eventually recognized?.
If it is regarding employment - up to your future employer.
If it is regarding education - get it assessed from the body responsible for foreign credentials.
I doubt whether you will need a "Top up Year". You should be fine.
I am sorry, I should have been more precise.
I currently hold a Bachelors Degree with full time study of 15 years as it is normally in India. I did not face any problems when applying for a job in the UK as my qualification was considered equivalent to Bachelors Degree in the UK. My brother had major issues securing employment in the US which required a Bachelors degree he had not had 16 years of full time education.
My concern currently is only in regard to employment.

I am not able to answer your question further as I am also in the UK and don't know much about Education standards in North America and the States with respect to securing a job.
Leon, PMM and Rupeshhari may be able to answer the question to your satisfaction.
Having said that, I do however think that experience plays a very important role in securing jobs.
