Will a online PGDM help increasing CRS score ?

[Pranay Karan]

I have a doubt if pursuing online Post Graduate Diploma would help increasing CRS score, the reason I am asking this is because on the CRS site it states ' Distance learning counts for education points, but not for bonus points in your profile or application ' and I am not sure what bonus points are ?

I would really appreciate it if anyone could advise me on this. A little about myself I reside in India and currently hold a CRS of 431

@Pranay Karan : That's applicable to distance education courses completed from a Canadian institution. So, generally, if you study in Canada you'll get 15 extra points but if that education was actually a distance education program then you won't get the extra 15 points. However, you may still get points for education so if the diploma was your 2nd degree as an example, you may still get points for "2 or more degree".

Hope that helps. Good luck!
