In the online application for Express Entry, in the form where you fill out your Study and Language details, for each Canadian degree you want to enter, there's the below two fields:

Did [applicant name] study in Canada for at least 8 months in order to earn this degree, diploma or certificate?

Did [applicant name] study full-time for at least 8 months to earn this degree, diploma or certificate?

Does anyone know what happens to a degree if I enter "No" for both fields? Does the degree get automatically ignored and not count towards my EE score?

For context, I do have another 3+ year Canadian post-secondary degree. On top of that, I have a 6-month long Canadian Master degree, which is the one I'm worried about since it's my highest level of education, and I want it to count points.
