What is considered full-time or full-time-equivalent study??
Hi to all these people who give (unpaid) advice here!
Iﾃつｴm just curious what counts as full-time study.
In about four years i will have completed my studies with a german
Engineers Diploma (comparable to a Masterﾃつｴs degree) and as i know i want
to get into Canada, iﾃつｴm digging out the facts which will help me getting
there. As schooling systems are kind of different, i want to know if for
study only studies at University will count or some of the education got
before starting at university. i will only have five or six years at
university, but counted from elementary school i will have 18 or 19
years of education (depending on how much time i need to complete
studies and get the degree).
Any comments appreciated...
Yours, Florian

In the Education factor you count all years of education since the
elementary school. It doesn't matter how many years you needed to complete
your education - what counts is the number of years particular education
program requires to complete if taken on standard full time basis. For
example your engineering degree took you let's say 6 years to complete for
some reason, regardless that it is a standard 4-years program - thus you
count 4 years for it.

So let me see, elementary school doesnﾃつｴt count is that right?
So my "timeline" is (as it counts here in germany)
4 years of elementary school
9 years of secondary school
and a 5-year program at university...
This translates to a total of 14 years post-elementary education, right?
On the other hand, if elementary school years are included, iﾃつｴll get a
total of 18 years, but i interprete your "since the elementary school"
being a "elementary school doesnﾃつｴt count.
So thanks for your information, and please correct me if i understood
you wrong...

Wrong - elementary school counts. I didn't say "since the end of elementary
school" - I said "since the elementary school", thus such counts, but
kindergarten or pre-school won't.
So, if you have 4 years of elementary school, 9 years of secondary and
5-years university degree then yes, you have 18 years of education.

Thanks for the correction, so i could theoretically award me 25 points for
education when i finished studying...
this improves my score to some 50 points without work experience and job
offer ;-))
Iﾃつｴll have to write this down for my application after getting the degree
(assuming nothing changes until then)...
Again thanks a lot for your clarification

I think you can only get 25 points for education if you have a degree at Masters or PhD level plus the required number of years of education. 20 points if you only have a Bachelors degree, regardless of how many years' education you have.
