I am from France and completed the Expression of Interest on Arrima. I was sent an invitation to apply but after completing the application, it was denied saying the invitation was sent in error and in fact my points are only 555 points. I assume this is because I submitted my degree in a format that wasn't recognized and so I didn't get the right points.
1) How do I access the agent's calculation used to give me 555 points? Is it from submitting an Access to Information application?
2) from using Arrima's online calculator, I can guess that the agent only assigned me an education level of Post-secondaire 2 ans when in fact I have a 3 year degree. Is there a private and faster way to get a Comparative Evaluation of my Education? The Quebec govt is saying it is 50 working days plus an extended 70 working days because they are backlogged. I'd rather pay to get it done elsewhere.
3) Is there any way I can estimate my equivalent level of degree in Quebec? My education is as follows:
TITRE CERTIFIÉ NIVEAU I: CHEF DE PROJETS 3D EFFETS SPECIAUX
ÉCOLE SUPÉRIEURE DES MÉTIERS ARTISTIQUES (ESMA)
Journal officiel de la République française (JORF): 0208
Arts graphiques (communications graphiques)
According to JORF it was 3 years full time. However, to my knowledge it is considered to be the equivalent to a Master's degree or 5 years of post-secondary study. I'd like to figure this out fast. Should I estimate it to be the equivalent of 5 years for the EOI?
