Need help*** Unable to get extra points for education in Canada

[rainbow2312]

Hello everyone,

As the new changes to Express entry on November 19, 2016 regarding adding extra points from 15 - 30 for post-graduated education in Canada, I updated my EE profile but I'm still unable to get extra 15 points for 2 years diploma in Canada. However, I graduated 3 years ago. Does anyone know if the points only reward to people who graduated within 3 years???

Thanks.

Thanks DelPiero07, between I studied in a public school in Toronto, Ontario and it's only diploma. I thought answer "Yes" only if it's in Quebec?

Of course not, otherwise only students from Quebec would be getting points for Canadian education.

"from a public post-secondary school, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or CEGEP (in Quebec)"

The only part that applies exclusively to Quebec is "CEGEP"

If you studied in a post-secondary public school in Canada the answer is "yes"
