Hi,
I hope you are all well.
I am 24 and am looking to apply for permenant residency. I have a 3 year bachellors degree in economics (grade: first class) which is worth about 112 CSR points.
If I also had my GCSE and A-Levels (grades: 1 A* and 2 A) assessed as part of the ECA process would this earn me more CSR points or would I just get the 112 for my degree?
Thanks for all the help people have posted on this forum. It has been incredily helpful.

Hi, welcome to BE.
You only get points for your highest level of education, so wouldn't get anything extra for completing secondary.

Also be aware that bachelor's degrees in Canada are 4 years in length, and employers (if not the CSR points) may well not count 3 years as equivalent to 4 years.

Note the 112 points for a bachelors is if you have a spouse/common law partner. If not then it is worth 120/ if you do then they can have their education assessed as well for additional points (up to 10). If they have higher education level than you it may be worth checking if they get a higher level of points overall.
