Sorry if this post is redundant over previous posts:

My spouse has a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) and Masters of Commerce (M.Com) degree. But the Bachelor degree is 3 years. Total number of years of education is 17 (Higher Secondary:12, B.Com:3 and M.Com:2 years).

So do we get 4 points or 5 points for the Spouse's level of Education in the Adaptability criteria?

Thanks

A master’s degree or PhD and at least 17 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies: 5 points

Hello Friends,

Please advice on spouse education points,
My wife has done her full time masters degree in Commerce (M.com).
With this, can i avail 5 points under adaptability..?
and if so, should i have to get her certificates to be assessed by WES..?

Your advice is highly appreciated..?

Thanks..

The rules have changed since this thread was created (you shouldn't post on 4-years old thread by the way). Points are no longer awarded for spouse's education (unless the education was in Canada). Instead, you can get 5 points if the spouse takes IELTS and scores above CLB 4.

No need for spouse's education documents at all, unless you are claiming points for her canadian education.
