Yes, I'm eligible for it. I am in canada right now. I am applying under CEC. So I have one more doubt so I mentioned it in express entry as secondary high school. So the start date and end date would be for 3 years and in next question where we have to answer that how many years you have completed based on final transcript what should I mention. Like 3 years or 2 years as per WES.

Nice. I checked my transcript for bachelors it says 4 years so that issue is good we can mentioned 4 years. But in diploma I am feeling tensed. But I think if we are not getting points for diploma so if we mentioned three years what we did for diploma should not give us problem. What you think about it?

When you mention 4 years for B.E , what will mention as start year and end year?

It would be three years in that. But the next question states if we hit the question mark sign it mentioned enter the years mentioned in final transcript and that states 4 years in my transcript . I am thinking that would be right to enter in that place.

All who are confused about "two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees..." points, the following information may help you to understand-

Many people's understanding of "two or more degree" points is not clear enough. People often get confused by the list provided under 1st section and ignore the other three sections below. People think only a minimum 3 years long bachelor's or diploma Plus a post graduate study can be counted but in real we can count any post secondary diploma or certificates (minimum 1 year) and a minimum 3 years degree or diploma to get points for "two or more...".

IRCC have changed the IT systems, now we cannot select "two or more degrees" anymore rather we have to insert all our degree or diplomas separately and the system will count the points automatically. If you do ECA on your educational credentials and get assessed as following any one of them then you will get points for "two or more.."

Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.
Important notice:
One must be for a program of three or more years.

ECA assessment results:
A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree

PLUS
any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school), or:
  • Post-Bachelor's Certificate
  • Post-undergraduate certificate
  • Post-Bachelor's Diploma

  • Graduate Certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]

  • two-year Bachelor’s after degree with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]
  • Dual Bachelor’s degree (four years)
Or
Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute

ECA assessment results:
  • College Diploma
  • College Diploma (two years)
  • Diploma (two years)
  • Two-year diploma
  • Two-year diploma in [name of discipline]
  • Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)
  • Associate Degree
  • Associate of [Arts/Science] degree
  • Post-secondary Diploma with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • Two-year post-secondary Diploma with a focus in [area of concentration]

  • University Diploma
  • One-year certificate in [name of discipline]
  • Post-secondary certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • One-year Post-secondary certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]
  • One-year certificate

You will not get points for "two or more" if your ECA on diploma or certificates come as follows-

Secondary school (high school diploma)

ECA assessment results:
  • Secondary School Graduation
  • Secondary School Diploma
  • High School Equivalency Certificate
  • Certificate of High School Achievement
  • Certificate of High School Achievement [plus/including] [specialized/vocational/technical] training in X
  • High School Diploma
  • High School Diploma [plus/including] [specialized/vocational/technical] training in X
  • Grade 12 (high school completion)

An applicant will get points for "two or more..." if he/she has a minimum 3 years bachelors degree Plus any diploma-certificates under

1st section [which is post graduate] OR

2nd section [which is three years long degree, certificates or diplomas], OR

3rd section [which is two years long degree, certificates or diplomas] OR

4th section [which is one year long degree, certificates or diplomas].

Applicants will not be awarded points for "two or more.." if their diploma-certificate was evaluated as any one of them listed below-

Secondary school (high school diploma)
ECA assessment results:
  • Secondary School Graduation
  • Secondary School Diploma
  • High School Equivalency Certificate
  • Certificate of High School Achievement
  • Certificate of High School Achievement [plus/including] [specialized/vocational/technical] training in X
  • High School Diploma
  • High School Diploma [plus/including] [specialized/vocational/technical] training in X

Best way to know the outcome is to insert your credentials in EE profile according to the ECA report. You will see yourself the points awarded.

Hope it helps, Good Luck!

Found above post in another forum.. After going through this , our Diploma can be considered as Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute as our ECA report says "Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)" and we will be eligible for 2 or more degree as we fall under section -2 and have Bachelor's degree

Yes then we will might get point and that true now this express entry profile gets updated itself when I was doing express entry I was not able to see to select two or more certifications. So now what you think what we will mentioned in number of years for diploma 3 or 2 according to WES?

I am thinking that for diploma I will choose secondary diploma and will put 3 years in the area where it asked how many years you have completed because secondary diploma according to earlier detail you shared we are not eligible for getting points for it. So I am thinking about this and still trying to find answer for that answer

I think we will have to enter whatever is the actual duration of education, because once ITA is received, we will have to provide our educational documents. Whatever WES mentioned is equivalent to Canada Education. What do you think?
