EE form- Two or more Degree/ Diploma

[kaulvirus]

Hi Guys,

I am currently in the process of filling out my EE form and was confused about the Education history part, would be really great if I could get some feedback from you regarding the same.

I have a bachelor's degree (assessed from WES) along with a Canadian Certificate (1 yr program). What should I write in the "level of education" field for each of them? As per ECA, my bachelor's degree is worth a 3 yr Bachelor's in Canada. So I am assuming I can pick the "level of education" as 'Bachelor's Degree or Three Year' from the drop down menu.

But, for my Canadian Certificate, what should I pick from the drop down menu? Should it be "One Year program at a university" or should I go ahead and choose " Two or more certificate diploma or Degree, one of which should be 3 yr"? The Bachelor's Degree was in Business Administration but the Canadian Certificate was in design so both are completely unrelated.

I am hoping to choose Two or more Certificates as it would boost my scores (436 if it's just Bachelor's to 467 if I pick two or more certificates) to be eligible for ITA hopefully.

Thanks for reading

Your diploma is 'one year post graduate study"

Two or more certificates only applies to a single qualification that Wes or I cas or CES says is equivalent to two Canadian qualifications, for example a 5 year qualification that Wes says is worth a Canadian bachelors And a Canadian masters or other professional qualification.

You have to pick the equivalent qualification for each individual certificate that you hold. For example I have a ba and a PhD so I chose 3 year Canadian degree next to my ba and PhD next to my PhD. If I had a ba and a post graduate certificate of secondary teaching I would have 2 or more degrees or certificate over all, but I still must put 3 years bachelors next to my ba and 1 year post graduate study next to my pgce.

What if you have two Bachelor's Degrees? Does that count as "Two or more degrees"?

Most likely not, but you would need to get an official evaluation to be certain.

Thanks so much for the info.

So if I select "Bachelor's" from the dropdown for my Bachelor's Degree and "1 Year" for my Canadian Certificate, would I eventually get more points for holding more degrees's or would I only get points for my Bachelor's?

Hi,

Can I know how did you say that getting two Bachelors does not mean you can choose two or more degrees?

but you would need to get an official evaluation to be certain

What must be written in the evaluation for Two Bachelors degree to be at par with Two diploma/degree?
