Credential: Bachelor of Engineering
&
For Post graduate Diploma(1.5Yrs) -Canadian Equivalency- Post graduate diploma (one year)
Credential: University Postgraduate Diploma

While submitting the EE application, For bachelors degree I selected the Level of education as Bachelor degree but for Post gradaute diploma which option under Level of education I have to select?

and under which scenario Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees is to be selected and if this is applicable to me , how can I add both my degrees only in 1 section of Education History

I am under the same situation.
In the second post graduate diploma degree(which is infact my MCOM) - what should i select?

Note, that in EE - they have removed "Two or more Degree" option, as it highlights in CRS tool.

Not sure under what level of education should I put my postgraduate diploma 1 year as they have removed the option " two or more degrees......" My WES says bachelor's 4 years and PGD 1 year.

You need to select "One year program at University, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" and submit, You will be awarded points for "Two or more...". I have similar ECA report and I've got points for "two or more certificates..."

You can refer to my post at https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/wes-evaluation-and-express-entry.545680/

Good Luck!

Thanks Ishq74 for the quick reply. It clarified the scenario but i got an ITA and I mentioned this diploma against "bachelor's degree " option too when I made my profile. Although I got the points for " two or more degrees..
" but now I can't edit my profile. SO, should I decline the ITA and make amends under my profile ? please help.

Did you read my explanation from the post I have given the link for? So, what I understood, you have mentioned "level of education according to ECA" for your bachelors degree as "bachelors degree" and also for the PG diploma "bachelors degree"? If so then it may get refused as misrepresentation even though you are eligible for "two or more degree" points and you may get banned for 5 years!

Of course you need to decline the ITA and update your details correctly. Please read my post from the link and follow instructions given at the end. You will have same CRS points as you have now.

Best of Luck!

You need to select "One year program at University, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" and submit, You will be awarded points for "Two or more...". I have similar ECA report and I've got points for "two or more certificates..."

You can refer to my post at https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/wes-evaluation-and-express-entry.545680/

Good Luck!
No....I just tested it......you will have to select bachelors for both the degrees.....The calculation for points is made on the basis of seeing two bachelors degree. it will automatically give you points for Two or more option in CRS......

I have a similar question for you. So, my overall points was 475 during ITA and while filling the PR form, i had correctly mentioned that "ECA qualification" was One year certificate for my M'Com degree but i entered my level of education as Masters in the section prior to ECA Qualification. My points increased to 482 after updating all the info/documents. I am a bit worried. Could you please let me know what might have caused the change ?
