Hi

I am planning to apply for FSW, I finished my post secondary in Canada(2 years). I also have a bachelors in India(4 years). If I just want to use canadian post secondary instead of bachelors, how many points would I get.

PS: I know I can get more points using Indian education, but I don't want to go through ECA.

If you have canadian post secondary (2 years), that should qualify you for all the points you need for education, I don't see why you need ECA for your indian education.

Thanks for the reply mate, are you saying that, if I have a Canadian post secondary, I don't need to use Bachelors from India?

No. A 2 year post secondary is not a bachelors. There's no point doing ECA for your degree as Indian degrees are not recognized by Canadian standards
ok my question might have deviated a bit. My Question was, how many points will I get extra if I use indian education apart from my 2 years Canadian post secondary diploma(computer programmer).

See the schedule as per

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

If you want to only use your post secondary Canadian diploma you get 98 points (assuming you are applying by yourself)

If you only use your Indian bachelor and are able to get an equivalent ECA you get 120 points.

If you are able to put both bachelor and diploma, you can get up to 128 points.

Thank you so much, you were right to the point.
