Education history for Express Entry
- Thread starter HoomanA
- Start date
Although you want to claim points for a specific degree still you have to upload all your education degrees. Same for spouse.
Its for ECA that you send them the highest degree. To IRCC you had to show your whole education till date.
If you are not claiming points for spouse ECA is not needed but still you need to add education crendentials.
It was to avoid this that I only put in my masters. Actually, I believe I also did not have a proper transcript for my bachelor's degree (and just the thought of dealing with my alma mater remotely made my head spin
).
I did not address the change in education, though I did mention the removal of experience (I took out two jobs and only left one in).
In general I am of the view that you should make life as simple as possible for the immigration officer. I did not put my bachelor's degree information in education history - precisely because I felt putting partial information (no ECA nor a decent transcript) would be more detrimental than discarding it. Another point that I considered was that my bachelor's was more than 10 years in my past and did not show up in my personal history - so it would not be obvious in a cross check.
Also, for my spouse, I followed the same principle - just kept her Master's and removed her previous degrees. Being of a similar vintage, her bachelor studies were also completed well before the 10 year personal history.
@qaisahmed - I would say do what you deem best. People (including me) have anecdotal evidence of what worked - but whether they did the right thing or got lucky is up for debate
You are safe from a points perspective - so at the most you may face a bit of delay. Which in the scheme of things with IRCC is a possibility even if you have a perfect application
Good luck!

I am in same situation as yourself, we have some diplomas that will not appear in personal history and neither in education history if we do not put them there. I feel that if I explain this in a LOE it should be fine. Yes we do have other diplomas but we are not getting points for them (we mentioned them in previous applications though a long time ago so not sure if they have a trace of it or not and it is logical that if you have a Master you probably had a bachelor before).
I believe there will be a placeholder for each qualification in the education section. You could just upload the degree/transcript for your bachelor's, but my guy feeling is that it opens the door for more confusion.
Hi
Express Entry profile creation has an education question: Complete/full academic years. I did my master's here in Canada and the program length specifies 16 months without scheduled breaks, but the option does not allow me to put 2-digit numbers(decimal). should I go with 1 as points are not getting changed with either 1 or 2 ? any suggestions are greatly appreciated. More clarification I did 12 months i.e. 3 terms full time and last one part time 4 months.
Thanks

Hi everybody, what assessment do I need to choose for EE: academic transcript or degree certificate in WES, what is difference?
I’m assuming you are talking about Education - you upload your degree certificate that is evaluated by WES (not WES evaluation) as you would have added WES reference number as part of your EE profile. IRCC check with WES themselves.
