Two or more degree, certificates or diploma:(:(:(:(SOMEONE HELP

[Sita1987]

Perfect! So this means that someone with a Bachelors degree and a post-school diploma (in contrast with a post-Bachelors diploma) can select 'Two or more...' option. But that seems completely illogical because people like Sita1987 themselves who have 2 post-school degrees are unable to claim this option!

The problem in case of people with "one year graduate study" was it being not a complete degree/diploma/certificate in itself.
And since when do we consider things with CIC to be logical 8) just look at the cases of rejection by CIC completely illogical..rather than asking someone for extra proof or document they simply choose to "reject" the entire application.
And look at the new additions in this CIC page for IQAS AND ICES assessments apparently "one year graduate study" in an ECA from IQAS and ICES is eligible for two or more degrees!! (refering to the footnotes here)

Hi:

Can any body help me on following two queries:

1) elaborate term "Certificate". For instance I am a Project Management Certified from PMI. Will this help me to fall in the category of 2 degree/certificate. I already have ECA from WES equivalent to 4 year bachelor degree.

2) Can I submit 2 or more applications in express entry pool. One with spouse and other without spouse. There is a difference of 10 points which can ultimately make the difference.

Regards

Only formal educational degrees/diplomas/certificates which are assessed by mandated accreditation agencies as equivalent to Canadian standards would do. Professional certifications aren't included.

2) Can I submit 2 or more applications in express entry pool. One with spouse and other without spouse. There is a difference of 10 points which can ultimately make the difference.

Yes. But you cannot submit the application without mentioning your spouse - that would be misrepresentation. You can classify your spouse as 'not accompanying' though. But if you get a PR based on that application, your spouse will not be able to get PR status along with you, you will have to separately get them over on family class sponsorship route - that can take anywhere from 18 to 24 months.

Thanks for answers.

Once you are logged in MyCIC, I don't see any option to create a new application, one of my application is submitted and valid till mid next year. In this I mentioned my spouse will accompany me.

In case I want to create additional application with almost all same data except spouse to accompany, will add 10 points to me at the moment as her credentials and language test are still pending.

Could you help me on this?

Regards

Try updating your existing profile - I'm not sure where one can choose to mark spouse as 'not accompanying'. If that doesn't work for some reason, recommend that you withdraw your existing profile and create a fresh profile and mark spouse as 'not accompanying' upfront while creating this new application.

Asivad why is post school diploma differently considered from a post bachelor's diploma. I have currently only evaluated my Bachelor's degree but also have a post graduate diploma which I am getting evaluated.

A post secondary diploma isn't nearly the same as a post bachelors (postgraduate) diploma which, in some cases, is almost equivalent to a Masters degree. And one gets the opportunity to score the highest points under Skills Transferability if one has a PhD/Masters/Bachelors + Postgraduate diploma/degree/certificate.

Ok So you are saying, if I get my PG diploma successfully evaluated, I can go for two or more degrees plus use it for the skills transferability points.

If your PG diploma is from Canada, you don't need to assess that. If it is from another country, you need to get it assessed and you can choose '2 or more...' option if you also have your Bachelors degree assessed.

Yes it is from India. I already got my Bachelors degree evaluated. I shall go in for the evaluation upgrade once I receive my transcripts. Have been waiting almost a month for them
