Online Masters Degree (Distance Learning)

[bobsyouruncle]

I'm currently in Canada under R186(l) (Clergy) but I'm struggling to get sufficient points for EE.

I have a job in a church (which is why I'm here), and I'd like to have the prospect of staying for the benefit of the church.

If I do the following online course will it help me to get points as for a Masters degree when completed? This course: https://www.tyndale.ca/seminary/study/master-theological-studies-online

I don't want to do the course if it won't help, but if it helps then I'll happily do it.

First, how many points do you currently have?

First, how many points do you currently have?

296.

That's without any education points, without an LMIA (another 50), and without a potential 30 points from my wife doing a language test and getting an ECA for her.

Bump.

Do you have a bachelors degree? What score did you get in IELTS?
The master program you linked seems fine as it takes 2 years to complete, but I'm guessing that in order to take a masters degree or been given points for it, you must also have a bachelors.

No, I don't have an accredited Bachelors. I have four years theological training in a non-accredited institution.

I've contacted them and I'm hoping I can be accepted if I need to take this route for PR.
