Dear friends, please help me to clarify an issue. I have a 5 years specialist diploma, for which I got an assessment from WES stating:

in the upper left corner-
Equivalent Summary: Master's Degree

and in the end-
Canadian Equivalent: Bachelor's and Master's degree.

Thus, in my Express Entry application, what exactly shall I mention? There are to boxes relating education - Education and Canadian Equivalency, and both offer the same titles to choose (bachelor, two or more cred/dipl/degrees, masters). So which one am I supposed to choose for each box? Does having assessed as both - Bachelor and Master's degree - let me get 50 points in Transferability (2 or more credentials) ?

If your summary says masters, you can choose masters while creating express entry profile. For points calculation use this CRS tool to check: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
