What is higher level of studies? Ontario Graduate Certificate or Bachelor's degree (from outside Canada)

[shortybhavz]

I am creating an EOI for OINP under Foreign Worker's Stream. What should I put as my highest level of studies? I have studied in Ontario for 1-year and achieved my Post-Graduate Certificate (aka Ontario Graduate Certificate) and also finished my Bachelor's degree from my home country (have got ECA for this).

It is higher than Bachelor's degree as per Canadian education but not equivalent to Masters' degree.

Exactly. But there's no option that matches post-grad certificate. It's either college certificate, Bachelors or masters. Very confusing

I know they should have an option, it's so common these days.

Hello,
Do we need ECA for a bachelor's degree from India if we have done a postgraduate diploma in Canada?

If you need to count your bachelors for CRS points, yes. If not, no.

Don't we need it to support our Expression of Intrest points that got us the invitaion ?

OINP is not an EE stream. It is a job offer stream. You get one less point for college diploma than bachelors. You get more points for TEER, wage, NOC status etc. OINP site will have processing times for nomination. IRCC will have processing times for PR.
