Today I caught myself smiling for no reason... then I realized I was thinking about you :-)
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours If it does not come back, it was never meant to be :-)

No , MBBS is a separate degree. MD is Doctor of medicine.

If you have done 12+MBBS(bachelor's)+MD(masters)- 25 points. If you have a undergraduate (bachelor's) MD degree then you will get only -20 In south America, I have seen doctors with MBBS degrees write "MD" (Medical Doctor) after their names to distinguish from the Ph.D. For example, Dr.John Hislop (MD) etc. |

Point of correction please, for my own assessment as indicated on my caips note MBBS/MBChB was awarded 22 points. Meaning it may be rated as a diploma and not bachelor degree. I think we should clear the air on this because I have come across this issue several times on this forum.Other doctors who have been assessed too should contribute. |

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06-eng.pdfSee OP-6: Sect: 12.2 Education
Medical doctor degrees are generally first-level university credentials, in the same way that a
Bachelor of Law or a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology is a first level, albeit ―professional‖ degree and should be awarded 20 points.
If it is a second-level degree and if, for example, it belongs to a Faculty of Graduate Studies, 25 points may be awarded. If a bachelor‘s credential is a prerequisite to the credential, but the credential itself is still considered a first-level degree, then 22 points would be appropriate. It is important to refer to how the local authority responsible for educational institutions recognizes the credential: i.e., as a first-level or second-level or higher university credential.So It depends on where you earned your degree i.e. a first-level or second-level or higher university credential?
Likewise SHISA ‘s saying, if you have completed a bachelor degree already, and MD is regarded as a Master Degree, you would have been awarded 25 points for 18 yrs full-time study.
Otherwise you have acquired a bachelor and MD is considered as a diploma, then you would be awarded 22 points.
Or else if MD is considered a Bachelor degree, it could claim just 20 points.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We need to substantiate this by evidence from the IRPA, IRPG, Guides and OP. your VO might consider a case in your file that might or might no be applicable to others. If you share the details of your education, we can learn and ask other members to consider it. Thanks |
