I have similar credentials and will select same option. Make sure you have the ECA report. For Canadian one, you are not required to get the evaluation. Hope that helps.

Please refer to your ECA report for equivalency of foreign degree in Canada. And add the Canadian diploma to your educational credentials which you do not need to evaluate.
Do not proceed without ECA.
Or you can try the free degree equivalency tool on WES website.

I hold two degrees, one from Canada and one from Hong Kong with ECA. But no update of score ( still the score for one degree) after I entered the second degrees( the ECA one). Does anyone know why? Am I supposed to select the "two or more programs..." on the option myself instead of having the system update and calculates the score ? But it is not what it is shown on the ECA report. What should I do?

Correct, if you hold two or more degrees with one at least three years or more, you should select "Two or more post secondary degrees with one at least three years or more" option. You must get your ECA for foreign credentials.

I have the following education:

3 years Diploma in Electronic and communication
Canadian Equivalency :Secondary School Diploma and Diploma (2 years)

Bachelors of technology
Canadian Equivalency : Bachelors Degree (4 years)

Now as per CIC, i can select "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years"
As i have 1 diploma of 2 years and 1 degree of 3 years or more.

Let me know if you have any other views about it.

guys can we only choose this option if we have 2 DEGREES?! I have a 3 year degree and I have a 2 year study which I did not get a degree for it cause I quit before that. I was thinking maybe if I send the documents to WES they can evaluate it and then I can choose this option. If I am not mistaken there was a option for even a one year study in the form. Am I right? Thanks

like I said maybe WES will recognize my 2 year studies as a one year certificate?!! Because it will be difference of almost 30 points for me which is a lot since I sitting at 402.

so do you guys put both degrees in different tabs?
for eg one tab you fill bachelor's and one tab you fill post graduate.

Also what you select in level of education in both tabs?
Is it 2 or more certificate or degrees or diplomas one being atleast 3 years?
