Dear [requester];
Is there a list or a way of knowing which Canadian private post-secondary institutions “operate under the same rules
and regulations as a Canadian public post-secondary institution” and how IRCC determines this for the purpose of
determining whether a Canadian educational credential is eligible under Express Entry Ml 30(4)?
Ave students who graduated from private colleges under a curriculum licencing agreement and who began their studies
before May 15, 2024, eligible for additional points for having completed a Canadian educational credential?
Are students who graduated from private colleges under a curriculum licencing agreement and who began their studies
after May 15, 2024, eligible for additional points for having completed a Canadian educational credential?

September 1, 2023, eligible for additional points for having completed a Canadian educational credential?
Are students who graduated from PGWP eligible flight schools eligible for CRS points for their diploma as well as
additional points for having completed a Canadian educational credential?
As of November 1, 2024, there are new PGWP eligibility requirements for graduates of college and non-university
programs. Does this change in PGWP eligibility impact whether the graduates from these programs are eligible for
additional points for having completed a Canadian educational credential?
MI30(4) For the purpose of this section, an eligible credential is one of the following
* *(a)a degree, diploma, certificate or trade or apprenticeship credential from a Canadian public post-
secondary institution or from a Canadian private post-secondary institution that operated under the same

Students who began a program of study at a private college (being delivered on behalf of a public college in the same
province) under a curriculum licensing agreement, will not be eligible for a PGWP if they begin their studies on or after
May 15, 2024. They must also meet all other program eligibility criteria,
