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 forrn.
Please see our response to your question.
A candidate may be awarded education points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for having ‘two or more post-
secondary program credentials’ as per Ministerial Instructions 11(1)(a)(vi), if the education credentials represent separate
certificates, diplomas, or degrees. If one credential is used as a component of the second credential, then itis not considered
two separate credentials even though two separate certificates were awarded. To obtain points for having two or more post-
secondary credentials, at least one of them must be issued at the completion of a post-secondary program of three years or
more.
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]

Dear [requester]/Madam,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is [requester] | am the paid representative. | would appreciate clarification
regarding the Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for Express Entry Education Points.
‘The candidate completed a double-major at the same university over a four-year period. Their ECA, issued by World
Education Services (WES), indicates two bachelor’s degrees (4 years) in Canada. | would like to confirm how IRC will assign
points for the candidate's education based on this report. Specifically, would these two bachelor’s degrees be assessed
under the “Two or mote certificates, diplomas, or degrees” category, or would it be evaluated as a single bachelor’s degree?
Could you please confirm whether the candidate may claim points for “two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees” based
on their WES assessment? Any clarification or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated, as it will help us
proceed accurately with the candidate's Express Entry profile.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
