Hello, I am an international student in Canada and in the future, I am thinking to go through the express entry process. To get more points, I need to get a Canadian degree. Would I get any points for Canadian education if I am doing my studies online because of COVID-19? Thanks.

That is about PGWP.
I am asking about the points for Canadian Education under Express Entry. Because part-time and online studies don't qualify for it. Only points for diploma will be awarded, but not for Canadian education.

It's a good question, sorry I misread it. Look at it this way, online studies never qualified for PGWP. PGWP is a benefit for students who study in class in Canada.
From the faq on that page, since online during Covid-19 doesn't affect PGWP, and rightly so, since you're forced to take online classes; I don't think it will affect your Canadian education Express Entry points. Please look at my analogy in principle.
Your question hasn't been addressed directly, it's only a matter of time till someone email's them asking for clarification and it will be added to the faq section. These are special times concerning Covid-19, exceptions will be made.
hi, did you get any official reply regarding the question? i am about to start my master full-time in Jan 2021, and have an intention to go for EE after graduation
CIC replied to me like this:
Hi. If your in-class courses are being moved to an online-only format because of COVID-19, this won’t affect your Express Entry eligibility and the CRS points you may claim for your education.

hi everyone, any update on this? regarding this point:
"you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months"
does this mean I will only be able to get CRS points IF I have completed the program physically in Canada (even if classes are done virtually)? Or, does this mean that I can still get points as long as by the time I lodge my application, I have been physically present in Canada for at least 8 months – either through a combination of study and post graduate work?
