Help regarding the education credentials

[gulte01]

Hi all, I have a doubt regarding the selection of right education credential to maximize the points in the CRS system. I selected Masters or equivalent (instead of Two or more as I am getting 474 instead of 467). I have a Bachelors degree in pharmacy which is evaluated by WES(Not by PEBC as I am not having any intention to become a pharmacist) and a Canadian 2 year diploma course. WES report stated that the Canadian equivalency is Bachelors degree (four years) and the credential under credential analysis part ( i mean the credential evaluated ) as Bachelors in pharmacy. My NOC is 2211. My profile got picked in the Nov 16th draw and I am just having this fear in my spine regarding the Credentials part.

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I have a question for you. You chose "Masters" but nowhere in your post you mentioned a Masters degree.

Do you have a third degree?

If you do NOT have a Masters degree, this was incorrect.

Bachelor's in pharmacy is equivalent to "Masters or degree needed to practice in a licensed profession" and so I chose that.

That would entail you getting it evaluated by PEBC and having an appropriate Primary NOC as well. For the current purposes, this degree is equivalent to a Bachelors degree.

I have a lot of friends who have got their credential assessed by PEBC and their NOC doesn't fall in line with the degree ( I mean they are not in Pharmacy profession). So I am in a dilemma at this moment.

Unfortunately if your credential is equivalent to a Bachelors degree your real score would be 467 which means you would be below the cutoff score of 470.

If that's the case you should decline your ITA.
