I have got my educational docs assessed by WES in accountancy profession. I am having confusion about whether i fall in the category of "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years".

WES have given me overall Canadian equivalency "Bachelor degree (four years) as i have total 16 years of education from Pakistan(bullet point 1 to 3 below). details of individual assessment are given below:

1 Bachelor of commerce (BCOM) which is a two years program and WES gave equivalency of 'Diploma two years'
2 Post graduate diploma (after BCOM) in banking and finance which is one year program and WES gave equivalency of 'Bachelor degree of three years' and also add remarks stating that " the equivalency for this credntial is stated in conjunction with study previously completed (see # 1 above).
3 Masters in Banking and finance which is one year program and WES gave equivalency of 'Bachelor degree of four years' and also add remarks stating that " the equivalency for this credential is stated in conjunction with study previously completed (see # 1 above).
4 ACCA (submitted 10 out of 14 passed paper for assessment) and WES gave equivalency of 'One and One-half years of undergraduate study'

so based on the above assessment, could someone please guide me whether i am falling in the category of "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" as mentioned by CIC. So that i can plan my IELTS accordingly to get good score in order to get bonus points from CRS.

Your earliest response will be appreciated.
Regards.

I think you can claim points for one bachelors degree not two or more qualifications.

 

[asadjamalkhan]

one bachelor is not enough to get 450+ points

According to your details, you have to select this option:

Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute

You will get below points:
With a Spouse -- 112
Without a Spouse -- 120

It means that i cant claim point on "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" As far i am seeing, they made mandatory to have at least 3 year bachelor, after that if you have another extra qualification which could be either any certificate,diploma or even another bachelor degree you can claim 128 points...i was quiet hopeful to get 128 points

Don't loose hope dear,
just apply for any PNP, I think your score is above 400 then you can easily apply for Ontario Nomination.

Just to be clear here - numbers ALWAYS change.

But often, if you renewed from an existing computerized passport, it would just increment by one on the last digit.

TWO passports can NEVER have same number. There are no exceptions to this.

For people from Pakistan.

I want to review my passport for which expiry date is 7 sept 2016 i.e. 6 months 19 days left to expire. Please guide me will Passport Offices in Karachi will entertain my renewal request? I have heard they wont review unless validity is less than 6 months. any one experienced my situation before?

@AsadJamalKhan, i think you cannot claim points for two or more degree certificates, y didn't you wait to complete your ACCA and then go for WES assessment because ACCA is itself four years bachelors equivalent. and you have only four papers left i think its worth completing it.

to correct ACCA Member is equivalent to 3 years canadian bachelor degree from WES.

ACCA Member + BSC (Oxford Brooks) is equivalent to 2 or more secondary degrees

I am an ACCA Afilliate and got 4 years bachelors equivalency from WES very recently. i also sent CAT transcripts for assessment along with ACCA, may be because of CAT it has been assessed as 4 years bachelors.
