Does a GED count as 'having completed high school'?

Hey guys, since I currently don't have an high school diploma, I am studying to get a GED online and take the test next month in London (UK).

If I pass the test and get my GED, will this count as having completed high school for immigration purposes?

This is what it says on the Canada immigration website:
  • Completion of at least high school
  • Educational Credential Assessment or Canadian credential is required
Thanks.

What immigration stream are you looking at? Through the Skilled Worker, I doubt you'll have enough points with only a GED.

It's a few PNPs and one of the minimum requirements it's simply having an equivalent to a Canadian high school diploma.

Nothing to do with points for EE or anything like that.
