I am confused about the following. Can someone, please help choose the right one?

screen shot

My spouse finished Grade 1-10, then finished college (Grade 11-12).
Now she is a medical student and in her final year (5th year).

What should she choose?
Also what should be her number of years of education in total?

Where is your spouse from? Maybe someone from that country can understand the school system and help out.

If where she is from a country where Med school is done after your degree, I think it could be Post Graduate - No Degree (because she hasn't finished), but I am not certain.

She is from Bangladesh. She went to med school after grade 12. It's a 5 years program and she is in her final year. So I am guessing it should be:

Post Secondary - No degree
Number of years of education in total: 16 (Grade 1-12 + First 4 years in med school)


Since she has not finished med school yet, should not it be post-secondary no degree?

What do you think?

Yes, that sounds reasonable. In some places like Mexico (and I assume Bangladesh), Med School is a degree so it would make sense to put Post Secondary - No degree like you suggested.

I mentioned "Post Graduate - No Degree" in case it was like in Canada and USA, where usually Medical School is a postgrad.

I also don't think they would be too strict on you selecting the exact answer since education systems vary per country. To me, your suggestion makes the most sense.

I doubt it really matters but I would put "secondary or less".

Hello. I am the dependent child being sponsored by my father. I am already of legal age; hence I am the one filling out my forms. In IMM 0008, on the highest level of education, should I choose "Post-Secondary - No Degree" since I am an incoming 1st year college student this September, and my paper is to be submitted a little after that month? Thank you!
