Certificate or Associates...what do you think..??

[LAROCCAMOM]

I am doing my certificate in restaurant management, which is for 1 1/2 years long.  I spoke to my adviser today and she says that if I wanted to obtain an associates degree instead, I only need to study an extra 1/2 year, equaling 2 years of full-time studies.
Now, if I apply to FSW under NOC0631 with my certificate in hand, but then I decide to go for the associates' degree and continue the extra 1/2 year, can I send in an updated degree to the CIC?  Or that's not permitted.  I figured they still take a pretty long time to process applications, then why not go for the associates degree and send it in once I have it in hand.
Unless, this is not allowed of course.

Thank you and I apologize for being such a bother , really.

CIC will consider only what you have in hand right now, with regard to your qualification and work experience etc.

That will be your initial assessment.

So i suggest get all the relevant things in hand and then see if you qualify and only then apply.
