Thank you for your response.

I meant that whether I am eligible to select "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be a program of 3 or more years". in "determine my eligiblity" form.

My ECA says:

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY : Diploma (two years) and bachelor's degree (four years)

CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS

1. Canadian Equivalency: Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)

2. Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

Thank you.
Even if you select it it wont count until the system calculates it. I think that yes you'll get points for that but try it yourself

Dear Experts,

Need help my WES ECA report says

Canadian Equivalency Summary
Diploma (Two years) and Bachelor's degree (Four year)


So does it mean 2 or more degree as per CRS tool or its just considered as graduation?

Appreciate your reply.

Thanks
RR
This is considered as 2 or more degrees, I had submitted with this scenario and got PR.

For the millionth times- there are no such rules that your diploma has to be after bachelors! Neither it means diploma started after 10th is considered part of the bachelor degree. And also you have no choice to claim points as per your wish because system does it automatically. Your education points entirely depends on your level of education mentioned in your eca report. Even if you have done a bachelors degree only attending final year and eca says it is a Canadian equivalent bachelor degree then you will get points for a complete bachelors degree. Similarly if you have started your diploma after tenth and your eca says its a Canadian completed diploma equivalent then you will get points for diploma. Now when you will add both credential in the system, it will award you points for "two or more" degrees. Here I am posting my comments from other threads.


You will receive points for "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be a program of 3 or more years". Both of your credentials must be from "Recognized Institution". Please check your report.

To understand the whole "two or more degree' equivalency please refer to this post by@Maverick28
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/two-or-more-certificates-degrees-or-diploma-lets-get-it-sorted.560332/#post-6996995

To check your credential's Level of Education, please go to this site-
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/education-assessed/read-report.html

Now for your specific query I am going to demonstrate how enter your credential correctly in EE profile-

For "Come to Canada Tool" please select level of education as "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be a program of 3 or more years"

Now, I am showing you how to enter details of your credentials in Express Entry Profile. After you enter both credentials and submit the profile, system will count your points automatically and award you points for "two or more degree'.

You will have following questions to answer in your EE profile to add your Diploma-

Name of the credential: name of the diploma
Institute name: should be awarding university name (not the college name, check ECA report)
Start Date: diploma start date
is it your current study? answer NO
End Date: diploma end date(usually last day of exam)
Completed Academic years: calculate duration.
Fulltime/part time: select one
Level of education: 2 years program//bachelors degree or three or more years program. (Which ever applicable to you)
Have you completed Canadian degree during this time? answer NO
have you got ECA? answer YES
which organization: WES
reference number: WES ref no (it ends with 'IMM')
ECA report Date: Eca completion date (check report)
Level of Education as per the ECA: 2 years program

Click Save and Add, it will show at the bottom of the page, you can add your bachelors after.

You will have following questions to answer in your EE profile to add your Bachelors-

End Date: degree end date(usually last day of exam)

Hello Friends,
I have done a full time 4 year Bachelors degree from Mumbai University and then a part time diploma from recognized institution named SASMIRA in Worli.
As far as WES report is concerned, for my part time diploma they have granted me a one semester equivalency.
CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS
1. Name on Credential:
Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Bachelor of Engineering
Year: 2008
Awarded By: University of Mumbai
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)
Educational Credential Assessment for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Page: 1 of 2

2. Name on Credential:
Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Diploma in Apparel Merchandising
Year: 2011
Awarded By: The Synthetic and Art Silk Mills' Research Association
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Apparel Merchandising
Canadian Equivalency: Completion of a college-level certificate (one semester)

SO IN THE ABOVE SCENARIO I M CONFUSED WHETHER I HAVE TO CONSIDER MYSELF FOR ONE DEGREE OR TWO OR MORE DEGREE.
IT WILL BE GREAT HELP FOR A GENEROUS REPLY.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for dragging back this issue again. I got a doubt to get clear out.
I got WES ECA report on yesterday, and as per the report, I got it as follows.


CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY

Diploma (two years) and bachelor's degree (two years)

CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS

1. Name on Credential: *****
Credential authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: Sri Lanka
Credential: Diploma in Information Technology
Year: 2011
Awarded by: Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology
Status: Recognized Program
Major: Information Technology
Canadian equivalency: Diploma (two years)

2. Name on Credential: *****
Credential authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: United Kingdom
Credential: Bachelor of Science
Year: 2017
Awarded by: Teesside University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Computing
Canadian equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)


My major question is that, as I highlighted above, in my CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY, they mentioned the bachelor's degree as 2 years.
but in CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS, they mentioned the bachelor's degree as 4 years. HOW CAN IT BE..?

What is my real result ? what I want to get consider (CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY or CREDENTIAL ANALYSIS ) ?

I asked them again regarding this. but still no reply from WES.

It would be grateful if anyone could answer my issue.. Please.

Regards,
Thish
