Very very urgent...
Actually I had submitted my EE file but I have not uploaded IELTS certificate although I had shown in OINP documents.

I have one inquiry...

So while filling in my CIC profile it was asked under education section "Complete/full academic years ______________" I am confused about this part cuz as per wes my bachelors is equivalent to 4 years canadian bachelors degree BUT my actual course was of 3 year AND i only spent 2 years in that program cuz i got exemption for the first year. Now which one shall I put... 2, 3 or 4??????
I have similar situation like you. Please help if you already got the answer.

I have 3 years IT experience with IELTS band clb 9 in all sections.

I have got ECA report from WES recently, please help me to claim appropriate points-

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Diploma (two years), bachelor's degree (four years)

My education history- I have done 2 years BTEC HND (Higher National Diploma) from Edexcel, London, UK. Then did one year Top Up degree from a UK university. I was given exempted credits for the first two years and only studied final year at university but got full Bachelors Degree certificate. My transcript mentioned my final year credits (120 credits) in details and
Exempt credits for prior learning at level 4 - 120 credits
Exempt credits for prior learning at level 5 - 120 credits
(does not mention anything regarding my diploma)

Total 360 credits and received 3 years bachelors degree certificate!


Now when I was filling EE profile I have filled details of my HND without any problem. Then I have added my Bachelors degree, here I had filled up a question regarding completed academic years, I have written 3 years though in reality I did attend only 1 year but got credits for other two years hence I chose 3 years.

In the question regarding Level of education I chose "Bachelors Degree". Then another question Level of education according to the ECA report I chose again "Bachelors Degree".

After submitting my profile I have received 50 skill transferablity points. I think system awarded me points for "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be three or more years long".

Here is my confusion, "one must be three or more years long". I did bachelors only 1 year but WES evaluated as 4 years bachelors degree hence system awarded me the points. As per the ECA report I do fulfill the requirements as it is clearly says Diploma (two years), bachelor's degree (four years) according to my transcript I may not fulfill that 3 years degree condition. Even if I write One year as the completed academic years my score stays same because level of education is Bachelors Degree.

Now the big question. Is it going to be misrepresentation? During assessment which duration a VO look at, actual transcript or ECA?

Now the big question. Is it going to be misrepresentation? No it is not misrepresentation because you imputed correctly what is stated on your credentials. During assessment which duration a VO look at, actual transcript or ECA? The VO examines your ECA and also makes reference to your degree/transcript that you submitted. Just make sure you submit those credentials that gave you "two or more certs, degree, etc" equivalence in Canada, and you'll be fine.

Thank you for your prompt reply, just needed a clarification-
How many year I should mention as my completed academic year? 1.5 years (my actual attendance)? 3 years (normal UK degree duration)? Or 4 years (ECA mentioned duration)?

Your help is much appreciated!

Dear Tanaka o/Expert ,

Kindly advised me on below.
i. In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?

It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Note: In Canada, the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official list of all the jobs in the Canadian labour market. It describes each job according to skill type, group and level.

"Skilled work" in the NOC is:

  • managerial jobs (NOC Skill Level 0)
  • professional jobs (NOC Skill Type A)
  • technical jobs and skilled trades/manual work (NOC Skill Type B)
If you aren’t sure of the NOC level for this job, you can find your NOC.

I am Manager Admin services and had experience over 5 years. Should i select 5 year or more option in CRS calculate tool. Its outside Canada work experience.

Hi All.
My query is regarding the PCC FBI and other required documents.

My current situation:
I am currently in the US, working on OPT. I am planning to shift to Canada. My previous PR application (submitted on 7th February) was rejected because of incomplete documents provided. It was rejected on 16th February. During that time I was outside the US, vacationing in India. Now I am back in the US and I have started the process again. At this moment, I have the ITA at my hand. As I visited India, I have applied for a new PCC India.
My last FBI clearance certificate was issued in last week of January. As I left the US and came back to the US, do I have to get new FBI clearance certificate also?

Apart from PCC India, what other documents I should get done again?
Thanks.

You need to mention the normal degree/program duration, that's what i did too...I attended 2 years when my degree was 3 years as i had gotten exemption for the first year so in the end i mentioned 3 years. ECA information you will only fill in the columns where it will ask you for your ECA Report number etc.

Thank you, Just feeling little wired as we have got same degree certificate as if a student who had studied 3 years continuously in a university from 1st year would get but now in EE we got more points than them because we have split the degree in two parts! That's why I am bit scared, what if my application get rejected for misrepresentation?

But my start date and end date of the degree course shows it is about 18 months, how can we say completed academic years 3 years? wouldn't be it wiser if we mention it as 1 year and attach a letter of explanation?
