Hi,

I'm mostly concerned with the education category saying:

'Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer'.


I already have a 4 year bachelor from Canada and am planning to take a 3-6 month program that gives a college certificate. I'm not sure if this is going to qualify me for the two or more credentials category.

Does anyone have an answer from CIC or example to support this case? Or do I certainly have to go with at least a year long program?

Get your credentials assessed by Wes first.

It's possible that your certificate may not be considered at least 1 year's worth of post secondary study.

The thing is, the certificate would be from Canada and WES only evaluates foreign credentials. Is there a way to get a Canadian credential evaluated somewhere?

hi there, does "A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree" mean it can be 1+1+1, or it has to be one program of 3 years longer?
