I just received my ECA results for IRCC from WES, My equivalency result is : Diploma (three years)

However, I’m kinda confused about what this is exactly equivalent to in Canada (like is this equivalent to a bachelor degree or what ?) because in the Education drop-list in Express Entry the only option for a 3 years program available is the:Bachelor's degree (three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute)

  • I this the education level that I should be declaring on my Express Entry profile ?
  • I also have a job offer as a User support technician (NOC: 22221) and I would like to know if my ECA is enough to satisfy the Education Requirement for a TEER 2 occupation before applying for the work permit ?


A bit about my ECA Result ——————————————————————————————

Credential : Diplôme de Technicien Supérieur (Diploma of Higher Technician)
Duration of study : 3 years
Country : Algeria
Year awarded : 2023
Awarded by : Ministry of Training and Professional Education
Status : Recognized Institution
Major : Computer Science
Canadian Equivalency : Diploma (three years)

You need to choose diploma as WES equivalency mentions. Three years is duration you need to fill in section "to" and "from".
