Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives [requester] note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific
inquiries but have provided the following information as guidance. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you
are encouraged to submit the [RCC Web fortn.
Please see our response to your question.
Pursuant to R73(1), a Canadian educational credential means any secondary school diploma or any post-secondary diploma,
certificate, or credential, issued on the completion of a Canadian program of study or training at an educational or training
institution that is recognized by the provincial authorities responsible for registering, accrediting, supervising and regulating
such institutions
The GED is an internationally recognized test that can be used to support an application for admission to an educational or
training program, or to obtain employment. The GED does not meet the requirements of R73(1} as it wasn’t issued on the
completion of a Canadian program of study.
Please be advised that the assessment of an application is based on a case-by-case basis; each application will be considered
onits own merits, with a final decision based on a review of all the information available to the officer at the time of
decision. The onus is always on the applicant to provide sufficient documentation to satisfy an officer that they meet the
requirements.
We trust that this information will assist you.
Thank you kindly,
[requester]

could you please clarify if a High School Equivalency Diploma, issued by the Minister of Education of Alberta
qualifies for 30 CRS points in Express Entry? And if it does how should one enter such a diploma into the
profile?
For more background information: a person did not finish high school in their home country, but challenged the
GED General Educational Development exam and received the equivalency diploma.
Thank you.
