Is 1 year PG Diploma same as Master's education level ?

[aartivig289]

Hi,

As per WES, my 2 year MBA program from a recognized institute in India is equivalent to 1 year Post graduate Diploma in Canada.

1. Can I request for a re assessment on the same by WES ?
2. Which education level should I select while filling in Express entry profile ?

Thanks

No. A masters degree is equivalent to a masters degree.

Sorry, I didn't get it clearly. So do you suggest, I add it as Masters in education level in my express entry profile ?
My actual education - 2 year MBA degree from highly recognized institute
WES Assessment - 1 year Post Graduate Diploma

 

[k.h.p.]

No. If WES did not assess your degree as a degree, it will not be counted as a masters.

Alright. So what should I select in the Education level drop down ? There's no specific option to select a Post graduate diploma.

Select the 2 or more certificates option

Bachelor + PGD = 2 certificates.

I hope you also evaluated your bachelor degree? You will need this to select the 2 or more certificate option.

You can also try another evaluation agency. They might give you your desired outcome.

Cool, Yes my bachelor's degree was evaluated and WES has assessed it as 4 year bachelor's degree. I will select 2 or more certificates option.
Thanks much !

Hello,

I am in a confusing state right now. While calculating my CRS score, I could see the "Two or more certificates or diplomas or degrees" option.
But now while filling out the Express entry profile, I do not see this option only.
Has anyone faced this issue ? Any inputs will be highly appreciated

Check properly. It is there. Or share a screenshot of what you are seeing.

Hello,

I filled in the information now.
Seemingly there's no direct option of adding "Two or more certificates" in the Education level drop down, while filling in the express entry profile.
That option is only shown if you calculate score using CRS calculator.

The way I updated it -

1. First education level :
My degree - Added bachelor's
As per WES - Added bachelor's

2. Second education level :
My degree - MBA (Master's)
As per WES - Selected "1 yr program at university" option

The portal itself considered it as "Two or more certificates" and assigned me the marks for the same.

I am facing same issue.
Please tell what you add at "level of education" field that comes before ECA field, and "level of education" field that comes after ECA field? Especially for master
