Dear Asivad, I request you to please help me answer the following questions ;-
a) I have done 2 years post graduate diploma in management i.e. PGDM after completing my 4 years bachelors in Engineering. WES has assessed my bachelors as Bachelors and my PGDM as Masters. Overall equivalency is Masters Degree.
Now there are 2 questions in Education section:
1) Level of education
Then after answering it, system asks whether it has been obtained in Canada. When I answer no, then systems asks whether ECA done I say yes. Then comes the 2nd question;-
2) Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report Your ECA report will tell you if your foreign education is equal to a completed Canadian degree, diploma or certificate. You must have the results of an ECA report to answer the question. If you are not sure what your result was, visit our website to understand what your ECA report results mean.
For 2nd question, I have answered as Masters degree - as assessed by WES
For 1st question, should I select Master’s OR 2 or more certificates , diploma… etc etc
b) Since I have done post graduate diploma in management, what should I select for field of study. There are two options which are very similar to my education –
1)Business/commerce
2) Business, management, marketing and Related Support services
I am confused coz my diploma is equivalent to MBA so I am inclined towards 1) as it includes the word ” Business”. However the PGDM includes the word “Management”. So option 2) is also valid but the “Related Support services” again makes it tough to select as I was a proper management course.
c) Thirdly for occupation section,
Date XXXXX first became qualified to practice in this occupation
If the "primary occupation" is:
• a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
• any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)
In this question, 1st part is not applicable to me
For 2nd part, should I select the date I received my PGDM or my date of starting the job. From the wording of question, it should be date I received my PGDM but someone earlier stated on this forum that it should be date of starting the job.
I shall be thankful if you can help me with the questions a), b) and c). Though I have created my profile answering the questions myself, I just wanted to confirm them from an experienced person.
Many thanks in advance
