Pls I have a 4yr Bachelors Degree and it was evaluated by WES as 4yrs Canadian equivalence. However, my diploma course was evaluated as one semester if undergraduate study. Meanwhile, I already input that I have two or more certificates. I'm at the stage of submitting my application now but I'm scared of rejection. Pls help with advises.

Hello - I am exactly in same situation. Could you please help me to know what should be entered for both diploma and degree in EE profile?

Diploma - 2001 - 2004
BTech - 2004 - 2007 (lateral entry)

1) Start and end period?
2) # of years for both ? (3/3 or 2/4)
3) both should be selected as Bachelor or diploma from university in drop down?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi @rv85,

Hello, I have received my ECA from IQAS which states the following for my Engineering and PGDM degrees:

1. Four-year undergraduate degree program
2. Two-year graduate diploma program

Both degrees are from India.

Now while creating the profile in express entry portal, which option should I select in level of education:
1. Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years;
OR
2. Master's degree, or professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession

Please help which option my ECA lies in as this will create a difference of 7 CRS in my application.

Hello,

So can anyone clear this out for me. I have:

- Bachelors in Nursing (4 years) back home - Bachelors Degree (3 years) in for WES Canadian equivalency.
- Postgraduate Certificate (8 months but is 1 academic year since I have 1 year PGWP) in International Business Management in Canada

Can I consider this as two or more certificates, degrees or diplomas for both my Bachelors and Postgraduate certificate? Since this will potentially give me 25+ points for my overall CRS. I was expecting 444 based from CRS calculator. But when I created my EE profile, which asked each credential separately, it gave me 477 in total.

Thanks!

You can always change the options while submitting the PR application. While reviewing your PR application, they will change your points based on the new info and if your total points fall below the cut-off then your ITA will be revoked.

I am not sure what IQAS ECA looks like, but in WES there is a section on top ' Canadian Equivalency Summary'. That will tell you whether you have received Masters or the Two or more certificates one

Yes. It is either before or after the Bachelor's degree so your diploma is counted. Although you should get the diploma's ECA done too.

I had done my masters so i don't even remember what the options were for diploma. But can you please check these 2 forums? You will find your answers here. And once again, you will get points for '2 or more certificates'. That's a confirmed thing. So don't worry about it after reading some post in these forums.
