I am trying to understand, how many points it will fetch ?

If you haven't graduated yet, then 0 extra points. You'll get 15 extra points in 2019 when you graduate.

Also it doesn't matter if it's college or university. If it's 2 years you get 15 points. If it's 3+ years you get 30 points. AFTER YOU GRADUATE.

  • 0 points, if the foreign national has a secondary school educational credential;
    
  • 15 points, if the foreign national has an eligible credential from a one-year or two-year post-secondary program;
    
  • 30 points, if the foreign national has either:
  
  +an eligible credential from a post-secondary program of three years or more,
  
  +an eligible credential from a university-level program at the master’s level or at the level of an entry-to-practice professional degree for an occupation listed in the National Occupational Classification matrix at Skill Level A for which licensing by a provincial regulatory body is required, or
  
  +an eligible credential from a university-level program at the doctoral level.

A University PG Diploma = University Master Level , Isnt it ?

Not sure as I haven't studied in Canada, but you won't get any points until after you graduate in 2019.

Someone in this forum recently said before the announcement of bonus points for students that IRCC is having a meeting with regards to Express Entry.

Hope a Notice for French comes soon. May be for Siblings, people would get points automatically on Nov 19, if the answer to the question "Do you have a sibling, relative...who is Canadian/PR of Canada...residing in Canada?" has been affirmative.

French speakers are equally entitled to points as English speakers. Why don't you understand this?

You get extra points for speaking two languages already. You could move to Canada without speaking English at all.

If they give extra points for French speakers a lot of Canadians will be angry as they will be implying that Canada should have French as a primary language. English and French are equal in canada already!

I don't think they would wait for the intake to make further announcements, as you see Kadian's intake is in May 2017.

They need Francophone to settle outside the province of Québec.

That is why they would give more points to those who have both official languages in their profile.

Do you mean people who have siblings dont have any skill?if thats the assumption i dont agree.On the contrary they might be better candidates than others.Its just that having a sibling is an added advantage and it is easier for you to settle when you initially land there.

How are they better candidates? I am all ears.

So the PNP streams might generate a separate quota ? But they won't get extra points as English and French are equal in the eyes of Canadian government!

it is all about the ability to settle faster cuz they have someone who already knows they country. the same happens to be the case with students, they have some knowledge of the county already and they got additional points for that. nobody is saying that they are better candiates than the rest of FSW. peace. ;D

Students have skills that are applicable to Canadian society such as all their professional knowledges are in English, and all skills (like engineering, nursing, etc) are situated in Canadian environment and highly probable to contribute better than FSW outlanders. Before they were even evaluated lower than FSW cuz it is merely impossible to get a PR for a student without PNP or LMIA. Now it is just fair.

On the other hand, people with siblings do not necessarily have the skills Canada needs. They might settle faster, but what can they do? Does having a sibling define what kinda skills you have to contribute after you settle down? Canada does not want people who can just settle down but sit home all day.
