Canadian degree extra points

[jez_mei]

Hey everyone,

I am planning to take claim the extra 15 points for studying in Canada. However, on CIC website it says:

"4b) Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?

Note: to answer yes:

• English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study
• you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge
• you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
• you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months"

The course I am planning to take is 30 weeks duration from May to December. I am not sure if this means I will fulfill the last point or not. Has anyone ever go through this issue?

Thank you
