GENERIC APPLICATION FORM, PLEASE HELP!

[Toronto1360]

The generic application form asks the number of years and of education.
I have a bachelor's degree which is usually 3 years in my country but it took 5 years for me.
Should I count 3 or 5?

Thanks!

You've to mentioned the actual degree years. Let's say degree program is for 3 years but you did it in 5 years. you can only mentioned 3 years program. you did it in 5, due to your personal reasons.

I got it, but what about when the form 5669 asks me number of years you successfully complete each of the following level of education?

If I write

elementary 5
secondary 8
university 3 (even if it took 5) as you said,

when I write the period of time I attended the institution (from 2000 to 2005) the number of years it will not match.

What do you suggest?

It doesn't ask how long the degree was supposed to take, it asks how many years you were in school. Put the actual number, so 5 for your Bachelor's. Telling them 3 years when it was actually 5 could easily be seen as misrepresentation.
