Dear All,

My wife just got her MBBS degree assessed by MCC, and its written that the degree is equivalent to "Doctor of Medicine".
Now under the Canadian experience call, the CRS allots 8 points for bachelor's degree and 10 points for professional degree. Can you please let me know, if this MBBS degree falls under the section of bachelor's degree or Professional degree.

Thanks
