Hello,

I have a two-year diploma (post-secondary) from a Canadian college and a 4-year bachelor from a Canadian University, but the problem is my 4-year bachelor is based on the 2-year diploma, which is a 2 plus 2 program between the college and the university. Does this qualify as two or more certificates on express entry?

I'm thinking no, but how do I accurately reflect this on my EE profile? If I put both them on, it will automatically give me 128.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I'm on the same boat as you. I did my profile and got 119 because I am married. I added both my diploma 2010-2012, and then my bachelor's 2010-2014. I did get 119 points. On Feb 8 I got my ITA and have been submitting documents but still unaware if I will get refused or not... I asked something similar today and haven't gotten an answer yet!

Someone please help us!

I had friends get 2 degree points for the 2+2 programs between Asian university and Canadian university. He applied in Dec 2015 and get approved in Jun 2016.
2+2 programs between universities should be good to claim points. college and university, I am not sure

my concern is for my degree, under study start and end date only shows 1 year, as it was a different location from first two

Thank you. This sounds comforting though, I'm not sure how your friends did this, but I assume his admission in Canadian University is based on his Asian university. Did he get a bachelor in Canada?

I only put 2 academic years under each record... should I change it then?

I'm not 100% sure which way is the correct one. I would guess that the diploma should be put under 2 years and the bachelor's under 4, cause it took four years in total, adding up the diploma, to get it.

Please help.... Anyone have any updates?

My score is over the draw if this counts.. but would below the draw if it does not count as two certificates. Should I decline the ITA???

hi every one, I have one four year bachelor degree, and two years master degree study but without graduation, because I didn't write my final essay, do you think I can get 119 points here? (I am married)

Sorry man
I applied and got AOR on March 15th. I explained on the LOA about my 2 year diploma adding 2 more years to get a bachelor's as well. I attached my two certificates. It shouldn't be too long until I get an update on my application... Fingers crossed everything is in order!
