PNP - High School Grad Certificate required?

[agoul31]

Hi,

I do not have any official degrees or diplomas, but I do have a certificate stating that I graduated high school back in Australia.

Is this required as part of the "education" documents section for my PNP application?

Thanks!

Which PNP are you eligible for? If you want any points, yes

 

[agoul31]

I have 0 points for education in my application.

Considering it will take at least a month min. to get a copy of my grad certificate, do you think it would be okay if I submitted the app without the graduation certificate?

Is this for Express Entry? You need an ECA to submit a profile. You can’t include a graduation certificate without one.

There's no way around it? It doesn't contribute any points, and the wait time for my grad cert + my ECA would be well past the timeframe to submit my PNP...

It depends which PNP program you're applying through. Each have their own requirements. You need to read through the details of the program to determine if ECA is mandatory for the program you're applying under. There isn't a universal answer to this question.

Thanks for the insight. I am applying for Express Entry - Skilled worker in B.C.

This is the excerpt from the program guide;


4) completion of secondary education and any licensing or certification required for your job

At a minimum, you must have successfully completed secondary education (graduated from high school) either within or outside of Canada. You will need to submit a copy, in English, of your highest level diploma, certificate, degree, or transcripts.

Are you eligible for Express Entry with 67 points without any points for education. Your IELTS score is completed too?

Hi there, it's been a while since the last post. I have the same question, just wondering if you had any problems or clarification regarding that question.
In my case, I added the post-secondary diploma I have here in Canada, which is the one that I got points on my profile submission.

I will not get any points for my "Secondary/High School Education" back in Spain. So I should add it on the application? it is required? or I can just pass on that one and add the "Post-secondary Education in B.C."



Thanks in advance

You can add it to personal history.

You can add it to personal history.

Hi
This time I need input from you. How much time on average will it take for OINP Submitted to change to assessment? Any guidance Naturgrl

 

[David_Cnd]

You can add it to personal history.

What do you mean by "personal history"? As I understand, if you are going to add any Secondary/High School Education you will need a CES right? I don't think I am in time to obtain one anyways...it will take like 12 months, and I only have 30 days to submit the application.

You don’t nee ECA as you are not counting points for it. Just include it under personal history/information.

So you have submitted and waiting to see if documents have been assessed and approved. Not familiar with exact processing times but should take around 3 months for approval. May depend on program too - EE or non EE.

Sorry to ask again on this, but I want to make sure that everything is fine on my application.

When you say under "personal history/information ", where is that in the application?

My main confusion comes from the Education part of the application. Since the fields are marked as "required".
EDUCATION BC PNP

Again, I will not get any points for the "Secondary/High School Education". That's why I would like to pass on this one.

Thanks again
