No CRS Points for Canadian Education!?

[BharatJain]

Hi,

I just created and submitted my Express Entry profile. I have 2 degrees : 1. Bachelors Degree (3 years) from India (WES completed) 2. Post Graduate Certificate Degree from Canada (1 Year). However, I am only getting points for the Bachelors Degree and not my Canadian Education. I am getting only 112 points instead of 119 for education and 25 instead of 50 for skill transferability. My total CRS score has dropped drastically from an expected 442 to 410

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!
Bharat

Did you select Bachelor's degree for the first box, and "two or more degrees" for the other one ?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I did select that. I also stated 'Yes' when the system asked me if I have Canadian Education. I have read on the forum that a few people have faced a similar problem but I haven't found an answer or logical reasoning behind this.

Thanks again

To get the required points, in your case, it would be 'Two or more degrees..' for each entry in your Express Entry profile, choose “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”

Hey,you have to fill your education from recent. Like put your Canadian education first than indian. That's how I did and it worked. Make a new profile. Hope it will help.

Hi,

Did you select 'Two or more certificates...' For each entry as well?

Thanks

Thanks Stanlee. Another person on the forum suggested that I enter my most recent education first (Post Grafuate first followed by Bachelors). Do you suggest that or should I just enter 'Two or more certificates...' In each entry and that will work?

Thank you for your help!

Express Entry FAQs say that whenever you have two or more degrees, for each entry you have select 'two or more degrees..'

Great! Thanks again. As guided by you, I have made these changes on my profile and I'm now waiting for my CRS score to be updated!

Give it up to 24 hours for the updated score to reflect.

I'm in the same situation, every entry has to be the same: "Two or more certificates..." It will work for sure

Hi Stanlee,

Just on a side note, my Canadian degree is a One Year Post Graduate Certificate and not Two Years. Just wanted to confirm if this is ok to be used in 'Two Degrees or Certificates....'

Thank you
