For India PG Diploma only:

Postgraduate Diplomas (PGDip) within the university sector almost always require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree for admission. However, this may not be the case with non-university institutions. Programs range from six months to two years, although most require one year of full-time study. PGDip programs are generally professionally oriented. The Association of Indian Universities recognizes Post Graduate Diplomas in Management (PGDM) from a small number of non-university institutions as equivalent to an MBA from an Indian university

As I pointed out and shared with forum members previously too, indeed I received a reply from CIC after raising a CSE with them regarding the confusion over "one year graduate study" Though I didn't receive a satisfactory reply for my query, let me share the reply from CIC (the exact words)

Dear Client,

Candidates who have two or more post-secondary program credentials would earn points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for their highest level of education only. If the credentials are at the same level (e.g., two bachelor's degrees), then candidates can select the appropriate level of education for “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees” when completing their profile. CRS points for education are awarded only to those who have a Canadian credential or an educational credential assessment (ECA). Note that points will not be awarded to any educational program that is not completed or if no certificate, diploma or degree was awarded.

For example, a candidate with:

- a bachelor's degree from a non-Canadian university and a master's degree from a Canadian university should choose the Master's level of education in their profile. An ECA is not required for the bachelor's degree as no points will be awarded for that degree.
- a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, both from non-Canadian universities, should choose the Master's level of education. The master's degree needs to have an ECA.
- a one-year post-secondary diploma and a four-year bachelor's degree, both from non-Canadian universities, should choose the “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees” level of education. Both the diploma and the degree need to have an ECA.

Dear CIC, I am facing a unique issue with regard to my ECA conducted by WES. It has evaluated my masters in science program (full time 2 years course) in environmental studies as equivalent to "one year graduate study" in Canada. With this I am unable to choose either masters or "two or more post-secondary degrees" in my EE profile on mycic. Can I at least select "two or more post secondary degree option"? Both my bachelors and masters are from recognized university (as stated in my ECA report as well). Thanks



So according to this reply and also what is mentioned in CIC's own website one should be able to select two or more degree option for having a post-secondary degree from a canadian univ plus a bachelors degree ECA (3 years and above).

ECA assessment results:

A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree

PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school), or:
Post-Bachelor's Certificate
Post-undergraduate certificateFootnote 1
Post-Bachelor's Diploma
Post-undergraduate diplomaFootnote 1
Graduate Certificate
Graduate Certificate with a focus in [area of concentration]Footnote 1
Postgraduate certificate
Postgraduate Diploma

two-year Bachelor’s after degree with a focus in [area of concentration]Footnote 1
one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]
one-year of graduate study with a focus in [area of concentration]Footnote 1
Study Toward a Master's Degree

- Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
- Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
- One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute

Sita Thank you so much for this information, basicaly I was not able to apply to the Express Entry for this doubt. I'm trying to assess my technical degree in "Mechanical Automotive". It's good to mention that I alredy have assessed my degree in "Industrial Engineering" with the IQAS, but they refuse to evaluate my technician degree, they told me on the phone they don't do it with technical degrees.

I talk to the other 4 centers that offer assesments and I am going to send my techncian papers to the ICES. I hope after that I can create my profile. By any chance do you know how long it takes ICES to make the assesments ?

SITA THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN !!!!

Yes it is from India. I already got my Bachelors degree evaluated. I shall go in for the evaluation upgrade once I receive my transcripts. Have been waiting almost a month for them :(
Can you please tell me what ECA you got finally from WES?
I have 3 year Diploma and 3 year BTech. (considered as lateral entry in first year).....
Did WES provide you 2 degrees in ECA or just one...?
Did you submit both Diploma and Degree transcripts or only for Degree?

Thanks in advance
