In your earlier post you said that WES evaluated your education as:

B.Sc (Major - Science) - Bachelor's degree (four years)
M.Sc (Major - Computer Science) - One year of graduate study


Is this correct? Or did you leave something out?

The above is not 2 post secondary programs. It is only one post secondary program. One year of graduate study is not counted as a program. Is there part of your WES report that you have left out?

I received my ECA report that says:

B.com - Bachelor's degree (four years)
Masters - Post graduate diploma

overall - post graduate diploma one year

can I claim two or more dipomas or degrees options in my ECA?

thanks

I am also in the same boat. WES has evaluated my M.A. degree from a recognised university as " One year of graduate study". I believe there are no points for that as per the details from WES website below:

Educational Terms

Used In WES Evaluations

Bachelor's Degree - The first university degree usually awarded upon completion of approximately three or four years of full-time study.
Diploma - A qualification awarded on completion of a two or three-year post-secondary program.
Earned Doctorate (Ph.D.) - Highest academic degree, awarded on the basis of graduate-level course work, examinations, research and dissertation.
First Professional Degree - The first professional degree in a given field (such as Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Dentistry) is usually awarded on completion of professional study. This title alone may not be sufficient to allow the bearer to practice in Canada, as additional licensing requirements must be met.
High School Diploma - Awarded on completion of secondary study.
Major - An area of academic concentration or specialization.
Master's Degree - A post-baccalaureate degree in a specified field, awarded on the basis of completion of coursework (usually 1-3 years of study) and often a written thesis or project.
Post-Secondary - An institution or program of study that requires the completion of secondary study prior to admission.

Professional Study - Study and training to become a practitioner of a specific profession, such as medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, etc.
It is very useful info :)

Hi,

My WES report says-

Canadian Equivalency Summary: Two bachelor's degrees (four years)

1. Bachelor of Science (Honours)- Candian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)
2. ACCA- Candian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

Can I choose "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees." as my education level and claim points accordingly?

Thanks for helping me out.

Good evening.

Besides my Bachelor's degree, I also took one semester for my Masteral and WES evaluated my 2 degrees as "Bachelor's degree" and "One semester of graduate study".
Can I also claim "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees"?

Thank you!

Yes.

To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case.

For example: For each entry, if you have two Bachelor degrees, or one Bachelor and a two-year college diploma, choose “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”

Hello,

I am confused and need help in filling up the Express Entry profile's Education history.

My Education:
3 years Bachelors degree in Science (Computer Science)
2 years Masters degree in Science (Computer Science)

ECA Report:
CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Bachelor's degree (four years) and postgraduate diploma (one year)

Question: What should be the level of education ( Canadian Equivalent) for Masters degree in the profile's Education history?

The ECA report says postgraduate diploma (one year), there is no such option in the drop down for the level of education.
Should I enter Master's degree or professional degree needed to practice ( and say one year in full /completed academic years) OR one year program at a university or college?
Please advise!

Regards,
jayant8918

Also,

From the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/eca-conversion.asp. they have explanation towards ECA results conversion.

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-Bachelor's Diploma
Graduate Certificate
Postgraduate certificate
Postgraduate Diploma
two-year Postgraduate Diploma, specializing in [name of discipline]
one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]
Study Toward a Master's Degree

Isn't it saying that study towards Master's degree + any 3 or more years program, certificate, diploma will give you 119 points.

In my case it is 'One year graduate study' which is equal to study towards Master's degree + Bachelor's Degree (4 years) would fetch me 119 points, right?
Hi,

Did you get the PPR? I am in the same boat as you. Please let me know at the earliest as I am holding my eAPR submission due to this point.

I will apply for a WES Upgrade in case yours was not accepted.
