<a href="http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?top=29">CIC's FAQ</a> says:
"For example: For each entry, if you have two Bachelor degrees, or one Bachelor and a two-year college diploma, choose “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”"
Alright! There were instances in the past where applicants used to choose "Bachelors" for one and "Two or more degrees.." for the other. Majority of these applicants had a bachelor's degree and another credential (like a post-graduate diploma). I extrapolated that to this case.

Thanks for pointing it out.

If you have two bachelor's degrees and both of them have been assessed and shows in your ECA, you gotta choose "Bachelor's" as equivalency for one and " Two or more degrees.." as equivalency for another.

Could you please post what exactly is mentioned in the "Summary" section of your ECA report?
HI Raj,
My summary says Dual bachelors (four years).
So level of education should be Bachelors for each degree and Equivalency as two or more for both. Right?

If the official start date is next week then I would choose that one.

Having a one week gap between jobs is no big deal.

Cheers ;)

Hi Guys! Thanks for being so helpful......
I was reading some of your posts and got confused about the CRS.

1. I have 2 years Graduate Research Assistant-ship offer letter from my Supervisor according the CIC requirement (hours/week, salary,fulltime etc) and Full-time graduate student in Canada. [shall I get any CRS point? if so, how much?]
2. I have more than 1 year of Foreign Work Experience (NOC)
3. CLB9
4. ECA Masters level
5. Age: 29+

shall I get any CRS point for my 2year TA/RA work? What will be my total CRS point incase of FSW stream? Thanks

If you worked while you were studying then it would not add any points.

If the PCC is in Spanish you need to translate it.

If you use a certified translator there is no need to notarize the document. However, if you use a non-certified translator you need to obtain an affidavit and notarization.

Cheers :)

Thank you very much for your answer, I plan on translating it by a certified translator in the USA where I live so according to your answer it should be fine. Do you mind me asking you how you know so?? Is it written anywhere? Did you do so yourself?

"Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:

the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
a certified copy of the original document.

Translations may be done by a person who is fluent in both languages (English or French and the unofficial language). If the translation is not provided by a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial organization of translators and interpreters in Canada, the translation must be accompanied by an affidavit swearing to the accuracy of the translation and the language proficiency of the translator."

Hi seniors,
A bit worrying and urgent

Created my express entry profile and now encountered a statement on CIC website (in question anser section) !

Question: What do you mean by Primary Occupation?
Your primary occupation means the job you have experience in (within the last five years) and want to base your immigration application on, if you are invited to apply.

I choose Primary NOC as 1311 and had work experience in it from 2009 to 2011 Continious fulltime
That means it’s not correct? Or I may be ineligible? What shall i do?

Your help will be appreciated

Hi Seniors,

An urgent query. Please answer as your answer will help me in tomorrow draw

Current CRS - 466 (with WES equivalency of two or more bachelors)
Current WES application status - Under review (i had asked for review since they did not recognize my masters as masters)

I am expecting WES review result this week. If i get a favorable review, my score jumps to 473. Else it stays at 466.

My question:
I have filled EE form but not submitted it yet as I was waiting for WES review. Now tomorrow is a possible draw.

Can I submit the EE form today (with 466) and later change the WES result (if it is in my favor) ?

If I submit the EE form (with 466) and get an ITA tomorrow, then if WES result changes later, how do I make the change in system after getting an ITA?

Please revert. Very urgent situation.

Thanks a lot.
