Hi,

I’m currently in the EE pool with 420 points with my husband.

I thought my points may have been higher as I over-estimates my education!

I’ve been routing around the CIC website and came across the ECA comparison tables.

I have a 3 year degree plus 2 University Post Grad Certificates, which WES have stated are not complete qualifications, so I haven’t used them for points.

However, I’ve just seen on the CIC website that I would get the higher points if I have a Three Year Certificate plus a University Certificate as per the photo.

Whats general opinion on this? I don’t know who can verify if this is where I’m sitting education wise.

Many thanks again for your help.
Amy

Thanks for the reply!

I finished them both, and the subject area for one is Education, and the other is International Education Management, so I think they’re academic.

My WES report says Equivalent to Post Graduate Diploma (one semester) so I don’t think Canadian Universities give people PG Certs? I’m not sure.

I took this up with WES and they replied to me to say they will check my evaluation, which took them about 2 weeks. They came back and said that their original response was correct.

I think i would get an extra 7 points for education but also extra points in Skill Transferrability Factors, so my points score would go up to 452

Just not sure what I can do, other than top up one of my my PGCert to a PGDip or try to get confirmation that my PGCert is a University Certificate.

Thanks for that, I hadn’t thought of looking at a different agency, that’s a good idea.

I might just point the final photo out to WES to see if they can change the wording maybe?

The certificates were were both part time whilst I was working full time. One took 6 months, the other took 18 months.

I didn’t realise that, no point chasing the 6 month one then.

I’m not sure about the 18 month one as it wasn’t offered full time - I’d have to check it out with the uni.

I’ll keep trying!
