For the application for the person that is being sponsored:

Years of formal education:
He finished high school, did 4 out of 5 years in University but didn't get a degree. Does he put those 4 years he spent in University to count towards his years of formal education?

Thank you.

My Hubby has the same situation and we did put the years in the total years of education.

He should, but without a degree they are not counted (doesn't matter in a spousal application, but would in a FSW application). But he has to account for those 4 years in the application.

Hello everyone,

I have a similar question. I did three years of preschool (from age 3 to 6). In my country, those years are compulsory, and they taught us numbers, letters, etc. Do they count as years of formal education?

Thanks.
