Post Graduate diploma after bachelors degree counts or not

[Usman799]

Hello guys,


I have a 4 years Bachelors degree in business administration (Accounting/Finance) and 1 year post graduate diploma in accounting. my 4 years degree with 16 years of education gives me 22 points. Does 1 year post graduate diploma will give me 3 more points in additioin to 22 to make it 25. As my complete education including diploma will be 17 years of full time education.

The bad news is that 4 years degree and 16 years of education gives you 20 points .
Can you get 67 points total with 20 points for education?

Example: 2. If an applicant has a four-year bachelor’s degree and 16 years of education, an officer
would award 20 points, as a single two, three, or four-year university credential at the bachelor’s level,
combined with at least 14 years of full-time study, is worth 20 points;

ok, how about the 1 year post graduate diploma. how much points for it. in total including 4 years degree.

I don't know. My answer above is based on OP6 http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdf.

They don't talk about postgraduate diploma but since postgraduate diploma is not a bachelors, masters or PhD, i have to think you will still get only 20 points. But thats only my opinion

I also don't think there are any points alocated for post grad diplomas

post grad diploma is useless, it seems to claim masters and get 25 points.

But, a single degree can fetch you only 20 points. had you diploma been a 3 year diploma, you could have claimed 22 points making the diploma as core post-secondary education.

in order to count the no of years, youj may count..

but it mentions clearly

Three year post-secondary educational credential, other than a university
educational credential, and at least 15 years of completed full-time or full-time
equivalent studies

so, you 15 years get completed, but the educational credential would be a university credential.. so, you need to count 20 points only.

Dear rupeshhari,
16 years formal education will bring 22 points. Additionally, 1 year further education as Master degree will add more 3 points. Which is in total 25 points out of 25 in education factor.
