Hi all,

I have a question, I had my bachelor's and post graduate diploma evaluated by WES. Unfortunately WES did not recognise the diploma. Hence I got only my diploma evaluated by ICES and they recognised it as Post Undergraduate Diploma.

Would it be a problem if I use both the reports while claiming points?

Hi,

I have done a four year graduation course full-time and planning to do a one year diploma course through distance learning. But CRS calculator page mentions that distance learning course should not make up more than half of your study.

Plz advice if anyone has done full-time distance education course and got it mentioned in ECA.

Hi
I have 3 yrs bachelor and got positive evaluation for it from WES.
However I did 1 year PGDCA last year and got the evaluation but WES did not recognize the university
Can I get the evaluation for PGDCA done from another eca body like CES or IQAS
Will I be eligible to claim points for 2 or more if I add reports from 2 different bodies of eca.?
Please answer

Hello all, I have been doing some research on this topic. when someone is eligible for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees."

as they clarified but still confusing
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/education-assessed/read-report.html





My interpretation : I think here they want to tell us that, any certificate,diploma or degree done after graduation of 3 or 4 years, In ECA assessment they want to see words like Postgraduate, Post-Bachelor's, Graduate etc or just simple two degrees of four years.

then here :

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/criteria-comprehensive-ranking-system/grid.html



My interpretation : They want you to have one three year diploma/degree and one certificate, pretty good right ?? see next :



My interpretation : let us read again
"at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer"

your two or more is only valid if it is done after completion of 3 year program.

secondary >> 3 year degree/diploma program>> any one/two/three year certificate/diploma/degree program

Now you are eligible for two or more.

but if you have any one/two year certificate/diploma/degree before that 3 year program, you are not eligible for two or more.

something similar found on reddit



My ECA Assessments are

I have a 3 diploma year diploma from state technical board (india)
which is equivalent to : Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)
and bachelor degree with lateral entry to second year
which is equivalent to : Bachelor's degree (four years)
Final will be something like this:
CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY : Bachelor's degree (four years)

or diploma (two years) and Bachelor's degree (four years)

so by all logic, i don't think I am eligible for for two or more because its like

10 year study or 10th >>> Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years) >>> Bachelor's degree (four years)
or can break it as
10 year study or 10th >>> Secondary school diploma >>> diploma (two years) >>> Bachelor's degree (four years)

here my diploma (two years) comes before 3 year program, so it is not valid for two or more.

secondary >> 3 year degree/diploma program>> any one/two/three year certificate/diploma/degree program
but if get any other Postgraduate/Post-Bachelor's one/two/three year certificate/diploma/degree or Masters, I would be eligible for two or more points.
for me, it will be like
10 year study or 10th >>> Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years) >>> Bachelor's degree (four years) >>> Post graduate diploma/certificate(1/2year ) Or Masters (2 years)

I have seen a few similar cases on this forum with same question and same study as mine, I took this little imitative to clear some air, but not claiming to be 100% right, may be I am totally wrong. please share your input and knowledge on this matter.

Hi, the link you provided did clear my major doubts on two or more certificates so thank you for that. Can you please help me with something,
I have done my Bachelors in Science (majoring in Geology) which is a 3 yr program from India and my S.Y.BSc subjects were Chemistry and Geology. I'm currently working and I cant quit work to study. I know I can qualify for the points of two or more certificates by doing Dual Bachelors in Chemistry but will distance education degree be considered by WES. Else I can take up a PGDM of one year but once again will distance education count for getting the CRS points?

Please guide.
