Uncertainty about Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees

I have 1 bachelors degree in BCA from India which was credited by WES as 3 years equivalent!

And I have 2 ( 1 year post grad diploma ) from Canada.
Can I choose the 2 or more degree or certificate option?!

Hi,

Yes you can choose "Two or more Certificates" option. If both have been evaluated by WES. I have the same case.

I have a 3 years bachelors degree (evaluated by WES as equivalent to 4 years bachelor)
And a one year diploma full time which i studied in a different country ( evaluated by WES as 2 year diploma program).

Just make sure, that WES evaluates both and gives you Canadian Equivalency Qualification for both of them.

Hope this helps.

I did 2 courses of 1 year each here in Canada which is PG diploma certificate!! Will WES be necessary for a Canadian degree as well.

Knowledge would help a lot!

Thank you

Yes, you will need to, as those are TWO separate qualifications.
I had to get done for both. However, you can include both the qualifications in one application itself. So you don't have to pay double fees.

Oh Sorry, I am not sure about the Canadian Qualification. If that needs to be evaluated or not.

Hello People

I have a bachelors in Engineering evaluated by WES as 4 years Bachelors degree. I have completed a (6-12 Months)Graduate Certificate program from University of Atlanta. Will this count as two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees?

Hi roop_d,

Is your one year diploma program with same major/field as your bachelors?
I have a bachelors in Business in UK, but am thinking of going to Canada for 1 year certificate in one of Culinary programs.
I am not sure if I will get extra points for doing this or not.

I find Culinary skills might help me get a job faster in Canada.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

Yes it is.

Not sure if the one year diploma must be in the same field as your other degree to be counted towards your points

Hi,
Yes the field of my course for my Diploma was same as the Bachelors.
I think you won't be able to claim points for both of the qualifications if the field is different. You will only be able to claim points for the qualification which would match your job profile. However, you will get additional points if the qualification is obtained within Canada.

Cheers,

Hi all,
I need urgent answer to this. I updated my spouse ECA, but observed the option for two or more certificates, diploma or degree was missing from the drop down, which my spouse qualifies for. Hence, she only got 8 instead of 9, if two or more certificate was in the drop down option of our EE Profile. Is this an isolated case or that option has been removed by IRCC.
