As far as I understand (and trust me, I am guessing all this), the qualification should be recognised by the governmental institution in place to do so. Like University degrees are usually recognised by an authority setup by the government.

I don't think a lot of certification (as good and hard as they may be) are recognised by a specific governmental authority.
To get 22 points, one needs (for example) a 3 year diploma, not 3 one-year diplomas. Similarly, they may expect a 3 year trade certificate, not many that add up to 3 years.

That is just my opinion and I could be wrong. The reason why I bring these up is to help you start a discussion. Good luck.
Thanks a lot for your views. Now at least I can assume, why I am/may not qualify for 22 points. May be CIC meant a trade certificate achieved with 3 year full time studies.

Thanks for your reply. I am not opposing your information that Industry certificates can not be considered as education by CIC;
and I do not qualify for following
1) Two or more university degrees at the Bachelor's level AND at least 15 years of full-time or full-time equivalent study - 22

but in guidelines CIC has mention about trade (industry) certificate. Can you please share what is that? I am trying to understand if trade certificates are industry/professional certificate?
May be I do not have a chance to claim my professional certificates as trade certificates; but CIC must be having better/clear interpretation for
2) A three-year diploma, trade certificate or apprenticeship AND at least 15 years of full-time or full-time equivalent study - 22

There would be some reason for having two different statements ( 1) & 2) ) in guidelines.

Can someone please help to understand point 2), that would help me to have clear picture?
Three years diploma k liye konsa option select kerna hoga
  • Three or more year post secondary degree
  • Formal trade certificate/apprenticeship
Kindly help me
