What does CIC consider as valid certifications in the column for highest level of education?

[abhishektalwar06]

Hi All,

In the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool: skilled immigrants (Express Entry), the level of education has a selection for "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees".

I would like to know what does CIC consider as valid certifications because I have a 4-year bachelor's degree in Information technology and then have 2 certifications under Coursera (Coursera provides universal access to the world’s best education, partnering with University of Alberta to offer the world's best courses online. Alberta is considered among the world’s leading public research- and teaching-intensive universities.)

Now, will the 2 certifications that I did online and were of 1-month duration each counted and can I select the "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees" option rather than just the "Bachelor's degree" option.

Kindly help me on this. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Can you please help me finding some certificate or courses that will count? Because I have only a bachelor's degree and what doesn't help my score a lot.

Post Graduate Diploma from a University will only give you points.

hello,

I am in the same boat. Have you already confirmed that Coursera does NOT count?

Did you already confirm with WES? would be worth if I give another shot?

Hi everyone,

I have a bachelor's degree (4 years) in Engineering and professional certifications from Human Factors International and from Interaction Design Foundation. Will these be counted under 2 or more certificates, diplomas or degree category?

Until you get the ECA, you will not know. However a certificate from the “Interaction Design Foundation” may not even be eligible as it is not an certified educational instruction (college or university).

The certifications can not be counted for education. Until its a University or College certification. so if you are talking about PMP, CCNA, AVAYA, Six Sigma, ITIL, then the answer is no.
