I have 3 yr bachelors and 1 yr Masterrs degree from a university in Bangladesh.

WES summary evaluation is : Bachelors(3yrs) and Bachelors(4yrs).

Can I claim points for 2 or more degrees? Since one of my degrees is of 3 years? I desperately want to claim it. But I am not sure....

Please can you help me decide if I can choose two or more degrees or am I only a bachelor?


Thanks

Yes u can choose "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years"
 
Thanks. Canadaindia for quick reply. But my fear is, if it's not the correct one then my application may get refused. Could you please explain how You deem I am eligible for two or more degrees? How do I know that they don't consider it as only a Bachelor? Yet I desperately want to believe I can choose two or more degree.

Yes, it just means your equivalence in Canadian education is 2 bachelor's degrees, the master's degree in Bangladesh would not be recognized in Canada.
Since one of your degrees is definitely at least 3 years, then you can choose "two or more..."

The requirement to choose is you should have two post secondary degree with one of them being at least 3 years, and in your case you evaluation says u have two bachelors degree and complies perfectly with what i mentioned in my last response.
Even i have nearly the same case i have one 4 year bachelors and one 2 year diploma and i choose the same. good luck

Hi canadaindia44
I have a Bachelors(4yrs) & Masters(3yrs) from India which is equally acclaimed as the same in Canada by WES (by their Degree Equivalency Tool). So should i send both of my degrees for evaluation or just my Masters. Also do i have to submit my 10th/12th transcripts to them as well or will the highest degree or both degrees(if required) suffice (since it increase the cost)?
Also which one give more points a "Master's" or "two post secondary degree with one of them being at least 3 years" and if later provides more points should i select this in my application for EE.

Your guidance well appreciated.
Thanks J
