Hi everyone,

Need some help pls.. I got the education equivalency as such:
Two diplomas (two years) and bachelor's degree (four years)

In reality, however, I got a National Diploma (2 years), followed by a Higher National Diploma (1 year) followed by 1 year top up to get a Bachelor's Degree.
Can I count it as 2 or more degrees given the equivalency received?It sounds like they are counting them all separately. This is better for me ofcourse, but one actually led to the other... though they are 3 separate certifications of education.

Pls advise...
 
Can anyone please advise on this matter, as I will need to take the next steps accordingly

Hello,

After carefully examining, I assume that you were awarded your top-up Bachelor's degree (4 years) in which you used you National diploma and Higher National diploma, your final credential as per WES and CIC would be of only "One Bachelor's Degree", you should not select Two or more...credential in your EE profile or you will get Rejected. You should count your education as One Bachelor's Degree holder.

Because if you select..Two or more degree/diploma credential, you will be asked by CIC to provide Transcripts for each Year, of your Bachelor's Degree, and Transcripts for your Diploma's. You will not have those transcripts in hand (CIC want each year transcript for all education credentials you are declaring). In LOE you should mention you got your Bachelor's degree based on your diploma's and those diploma's transcripts will show as proof towards your Bachelor's degree of 4yrs

Did u apply for WES?

Hi, I am in a similar position and waiting for mine to be sent back by WES, currently under review. If mine turns out the same i will not know what to select, Degree or Two or more. I have so many things online, like you can select two or more, some say you need to go by the main summary at the top etc, there seems to be no clear answer anywhere. What was the actually summary on the report at the top? was it WES also?
 
Looks like you can select 2 or more degrees. But your applicaiton is already in process?

It must be according to ECA.
 
To get STF points for "Two or more degrees...", one of your degree/diploma should be at least of 1 year duration obtained after completion of a degree/diploma of 3 years duration.

Have you completed your 2 years national diploma, post secondary? Still, it might fall under (10+2 + (2+1+1)) one 4 years Bachelor's degree!
 
I have 2 similar questions, if I completed a 3 year diploma, post-secondary program in a Canadian college with in 2 full years including 6 semesters. (not taking any break in summer, winter etc), does it count as a Bachelor degree or equivalence of 3 year program in college?
And then if I transferred some credits to a Canadian university and obtained another Bachelor degree there by continuing 2 years of study, does this count as 2 or more degrees? Thanks guys !

What EXACTLY does your ECA report say in the "Canadian equivalency summary" section? You can see the summary at the top line of every WES ECA report. if WES has acknowledged your academic record as a "Bachelors degree AND diploma" then you can choose "2 or more certificates..." in your Express entry profile. However if WES has given you a summary of only canadian bachelors,.. then chose only "bachelors degree" in your EE profile.

I hope this helps
