PMM Please help

[blue_bd]

I'm from bangladesh. I and my husband is thinking to apply for canadian immigration. My husband has graduated from university of windsor, canada. I graduated from a private university (www.aiub.edu) in bangladesh. We both are IT graduate. I have a total of more than 4 yrs experience, my husband has more than 2 yrs experience. We both cross the pass mark 67. But I score more than my husband.

Now my question is that

1. Who should be the principal applicate...me or my husband?

2. If I become the principal applicate then do I need to assess my bangladeshi bachelor degree? Will they accept my bangladeshi degree? I mean is bangladeshi degree accepted in canada?

Advice is welcome from all....please help me...

Hi blue_bd

I don’t think it would be a problem, actually almost all of the applicants as skilled worker did their studies in a foreign school (out of Canada), I mean, I did it and I already have the Visa.

Now whether who should apply, it could be based on who has the higher level of: Years of studies (16 or more), Enlgish/Frech performance, work experience…

Just put the cards on your table and balance them

Good luck
Eduardo

1. Yes your degree would be scrutinized
2. If your husband applies he would receive 5 bonus points if he studied for at least 2 years in Canada.

But PMM even if I apply I will also receive 5 bonus points for my husband studied in Canada. Isn’t it?

You said my degree will be scrutinized but who will do it? The Canadian immigration officers do that?

Wow!!! I agreed with PMM about the Canadian studies it could help...I didn't think about it...

...But now, the real question is still in the air; who of them should be the principal applicant?

Well it seems like your husband is just one point over the raw, 68 out of 67 required, there is no margin of error and he has lower work experience.

So it is much likely that you should be the applicant, since you have more margin to play with (at least 5 points), over the raw 72 out of 67 required, and you have more work experience. (of course I am starting from the premise of the higher points the better opportunity)

Hey PMM you are the big expert here my friend, what do think about? Who would you recommend to be the applicant based on your experience?

Regards
Eduardo

I would have the spouse apply, as long as the school where she obtained her degree is accredited, but it is really too bad that the spouse didn't get a Post Grad Work Permit, unless the Canadian school was not public or degree granting. It really would have helped.
