Dear [requester]/Madam, —_ :
A work permit holder is working in Canada and in the Express Entry pool. He completed a two-year diploma at a Designated
Learning Institution (DLI) in [requester] a three-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), he works for a Canadian
company while simultaneously studying for a bachelor's degree online at a private school in the U.S.
Due to intensive study and credit transfers from his college program, he completed the U.S. bachelor's degree in just six months
and later obtained a WES evaluation confirming it as equivalent to a four-year Canadian bachelor’s degree.
Questions:
lain. Can he claim points for both his Canadian diploma at a Canadian DLI (15 points) and his U.S. bachelor's degree
as his highest level of education (120 points) when applying for Canadian immigration?
tmirtf2\lang4105\822 Does the fact that the bachelor’s degree was completed online within such a short timeframe
using the credits from previous studies in Canada affect eligbility for education points?
