Education

4) What is your level of education?

Help with this question

Foreign credentials need an ECA from an approved agency issued within the last five years. Use the Canadian equivalency. Professional degrees must be in medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, law, chiropractic medicine or pharmacy.

4b) Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?

Help with this question

Study must be at a school in Canada, with at least eight months of full-time enrolment and physical presence. Special rules apply to studies completed wholly or partly between March 2020 and August 2022. Language study cannot make up more than half the program. An award requiring you to return home does not qualify. Distance study can count toward core education points, but not the Canadian-study bonus.
