Have a look at the following link:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/Education.asp

Also even though u have 16 yr education looking at the self assessment if you select

Obtained a university degree of two years or more at the bachelor's level and completed at least 14 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies

you score 20 points. This might be a little orthodox compared to your masters and no. of yrs of education.If your total pts are 67 that is wat matters.

Coming to your certifications, the certifications do not help in immigration. A person with similar educational background like yours without a certification might also be eligible based on the points,type of education and NOC code. The certifications will surely help while you apply for jobs there.

I am Aamir 35 years Old from Pakistan, just going to file my application for skilled worker. I just need your assistance regarding education points. I have the following education:

M.Phil Course Work Know as MAS i.e. Master in Applied Sciences (in Applied Economics) from Applied Economic Research Centre. University of Karachi, I got admission after country wide competitive exam for the admission of this course at world wide known centre. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------1 year program
Masters   (Economics) ------------------------------------------2 year program
Bachelor (Major Economics) -------------------------------------2 year Program

I have consult with one local consultant saying that I will get the same marks for MA (Economics) & no additional marks will be awarded for my MAS, as it shows that it is another Master degree & no extra points awarded to additional Master Degree holders if someone have more than one Masters.
But its Name shows it is Master but it was the complete one year course work of M.Phil as stated on my Mark sheet.

On the other hand I have completed 17 year of education from Pakistan. But I don't know if they award the same marks to all whether they studied from Pakistan, U.K or Canada in the same period or with the same degree?

So please advise me how many points I achieved 22 OR 25?

For 16 years of schooling points are 22 while for 17 years 25 points. So it is matter of years of schooling.
