Question about CSQ Point Assessment

[marylatt]

According to the Canadvisa site, points under the training criteria are as follows. My question is the following If you have a Quebec diploma, then do you get an additional 6 points?

I have a Master's degree from the US, so I get 12 points for that. I am in category D for area of training, so I get 2 points for that. I also have a Canadian bachelor's degree (which according to the Quebec immigration site is considered as equivalent to a Quebec diploma), so does that mean I get another 6 points? I'm very confused, especially since if you add 12 + 16+ 6 you get 34, not 28. Please help! Thanks so much.

The Training criterion is one of the ten criteria for which points are awarded under the Quebec immigration selection system. Up to 28 points are awarded under the Training criterion of Quebec immigration on the basis of the following three subcategories: Schooling Level of Education Points Secondary school general diploma 2 points Secondary school vocational diploma 6 points Postsecondary school general diploma attesting to 2 years of full-time studies 4 points Postsecondary school technical diploma attesting to 1 years of full-time studies 6 points Postsecondary school technical diploma attesting to 2 years of full-time studies 6 points Postsecondary school technical diploma attesting to 2 years of full-time studies in training listed in Section A or B of the 'Areas of Training' criterion 10 points Postsecondary school technical diploma attesting to 3 years of full-time studies 8 points Postsecondary school technical diploma attesting to 3 years of full-time studies in training listed in Section A or B of the 'Areas of Training' criterion 10 points Undergraduate diploma attesting to 1 or more years of full-time studies 4 Undergraduate diploma attesting to 2 or more years of full-time studies 6 Undergraduate diploma attesting to 3 or more years of full-time studies 10 points Master's Degree 12 points Doctorate 12 points Maximum 12 points Quebec Diploma Quebec Diploma Points Quebec Diploma or equivalent 6 points Maximum 6 points Areas of Training Areas of Training Points Section A of the areas 16 points Section B of the areas 12 points Section C of the areas 6 points Section D of the areas 2 points Section E, F, or G of the areas 0 points Maximum 16 points
