Hi,

I am a US citizen looking to immigrate to Canada via the Canadian Experience Class.
I will have completed a Bachelor's Degree from a US university in a few months, but I would like to study in Canada as well.
So, I was wondering if completing a second Bachelor's Degree, this time from a Canadian University, works for completing the education requirements, as long as I draw it out into at least two years of education in Canada?
The reason I wonder is, the program that I would like to complete is a teaching degree, Bachelor's of Education, that is normally earned within one extended academic year after obtaining a first degree.
Could I simply take more classes than are necessary, enough to stay full-time at the university for two years, complete the degree after those two years instead of just 15 months or so, and use that as the education requirement?

Thanks to anyone who can provide some advice!
