Two and More Degrees ECA evaluation

[munjal]

My WES report states
CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Bachelor's degree (three years) and bachelor's degree (four years)

Can I select 2 or more degrees options ?

If it is clearly showing two bachelors degree with "AND" word...
definitely you can chose "two or more degrees.." option.

can you share your education details and what is its Canadian equivalent education as per your WES report?

 

[indianaspirant]

Hi indianaspirant,
there is some ambiguity in what you are saying..

in previous post you shared that your ECA mentionedl Master's degree as "One year graduate study".. and now you are saying that you have "Study towards a Masters program" ..

In case of one year graduate study, you can select "two or more degrees.." option only if your ECA is issued from ICES or IQAS as it is clearly mentioned in Footnote 1 on CIC ECA conversion page.

no ambiguity...I didn't say I have study towards a masters degree I said CIC said on their site, please read my post properly....I have in my report "one year of graduate study"

no ambiguity...I didn't say I have study towards a masters degree I said CIC said on their site, please read my post properly....I have in my report "one year of graduate study"

Mine Canadian Equivalence Summary is "Bachelors(4 years)"
First Degree is "Bachelors(3 years)"
Second Degree is "Bachelors(4 years)"

So my case is NOT EXACTLY same as of IndianAspirant (who had second degree as "One year graduate study".
Is someone aware of any similar profile who took benefit of "2 degrees"

You already posted it yourself (the help notes from cic). So go and choose Two Degrees. That's your proof and IndianAspirant's guide.

No, as per my understanding you are wrong here, sir.
that post from CIC is guiding you on the way to fill EE applications & assumes that you have been concluded with 2 degrees already. It is nowhere highlighting this fact ALONE that 2 Bachelors meens 2 degrees.

For others, i am pasting below information from CIC website

************************************************

Link 1 => http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=1129&t=29

How do I answer the question in Express Entry about my education if I have two or more degrees or diplomas?

To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case.

For example: For each entry, if you have two Bachelor degrees, or one Bachelor and a two-year college diploma, choose “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”

If you have more than two degrees or diplomas, you will not get any extra points. You should choose the same option as above, unless you have:

a master’s degree, or
a doctoral level degree (PhD).
You will get more points for a master’s or a doctorate, so if you have one, choose it from the drop-down menu.
***************************************************************************

Link 2 => http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=1068&t=29

What credential should I get assessed for immigration purposes?

You should choose the highest level degree, diploma or certificate (or combination) that will award you the most points. For example, you would get more points for an ECA report that shows you have a Canadian equivalent of a master’s degree than for one that shows you have the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree.

In some cases, multiple degrees or diplomas at a bachelor’s level will award you one more point than a single bachelor’s degree.

The minimum requirement to apply as a federal skilled worker is the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma.

Thank you talkto_vinay, I don't know how is missed this. I was just about to submit eITA with one 'bachelors' and 'one two or more' selected. This also gives you the additional points in the EE profile stage but best to do as they say.

BUT....

When completing the profile do you select 'two or more' for 'Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA)' as well as for 'Level of Education' ????

 

[sanddip]

Does Post graduate diploma needs to be at least 1 year?

 

[warquezho]

Mine Canadian Equivalence Summary is "Bachelors(4 years)"
First Degree is "Bachelors(3 years)"
Second Degree is "Bachelors(4 years)"

It already said that when you have two bachelor then choose two degrees. I don't understand you saying your last sentence when cic help already states what to choose when having two bachelor.

I do understand that in your summary, it only mentions one degree. But AGAIN (saying this for so many times) take Indianaspirant as an example where he has one degree in the sumnary field but not in each degree assessed, and yet CIC considers this.

Now if you want to choose Single Bachelor degree then up to you. I don't want to force and explain much further as I've already help you in your questions. If you want to follow others advise then go ahead. At the end of the day, it will be CIC and not us who will approved your application. All of us in this forum have different views and interpretation in certain things.

All the best in your application 8)

You should do the following in EE profile:

Bachelor of Science (Select: Bachelors degree 3 yrs or more)

Master of Science (Select: 2 or more degrees, diplomas...)

This is what we have done...
