Hi. I have done B.A.LL.B(5 years course) , which is a combination of bachelor of laws/bachelor of arts. My WES report shows it as dual bachelors degree. But when i tried to create my profile for express entry, there was no more an option for dual bachelors. Please suggest me what is to be done in such cases. If i have to choose single bachelors degree then that will lower my points to unacceptable. Thanks
No option for dual bachelors

Good Luck!
No. I mean to say thay now there is no option as"two or more degree" . they have removed it. Please suggest me the alternate
I think you have only entered one degree thus you got one option only. If you put this degree as two separate degrees [bachelor of laws and bachelor of arts] then you will see the two or more option. But there is a technical problem for that as they are not two degrees rather one degree. To claim points for two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees you need to have-
A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree
PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school), or:
- Post-Bachelor's Certificate
- Post-undergraduate certificate
- Post-Bachelor's Diploma
- Post-undergraduate diploma
- Graduate Certificate
- Graduate Certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
- Postgraduate certificate
- Postgraduate Diploma
- Graduate Diploma with a focus in [area of concentration]
- Graduate diploma
- two-year Postgraduate Diploma, specializing in [name of discipline]
- two-year Bachelor’s after degree with a focus in [area of concentration]
- one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]
- Dual Bachelor’s degree (four years)
Good Luck!
you have to add your diploma one by one i you're talking about the form. so
diploma 1 + ECA for that diploma
diploma 2 + eca for that diploma
the system will calculate it on its own
Thanks for coming forth to help me out but the issue is that i have done a course which is blend of 2 bachelors, but the degree is one only so i cant say that i have two different bachelors to fill different details.

I have the exact same problem i have a BLS/LLB(5 YEAR COURSE),
every body else in their replies are referring to the dual bachelors degree option which is available only when you are calculating your score for express entry using the point calculation tool prior to creation of your express entry profile, once you begin creating your express entry profile there is no option of dual bachelors degree, reading from other threads it seems that this option was not available from November 2016 but then the points calculator clearly awards points for dual bachelors degree, guys please help how do we go about this!

Hi
Did you get your PR? Using the professional option?
Hi Guys!
Would you please help.
I have two bachelor degrees - one as a Teacher of chemistry (2002-2007) and one as an Economist from University of economics (2008-2012).
When I enter one bachelor degree in Express entry, system gives me 419 points. And when I add the second one separately the system also shows me 419 points.
Do you know why? It should be more, right? As two degree, diplomas and certificate give more points...
Please kindly advice what to do.
Thanks so much in advance!!! Highly appreciated
