Primary: 6 years
Secondary Common Cycle: 3 years
Secondary Specialized Cycle: 3 years, with Commercial Secretary Diploma
2 years with Bachelor of Sciences and Literature diploma.
How many points will I be awarded for education from Canada?
Please be definitive and correct in your explanation.
Dear sandra0971,
As a pre-requisite, I suppose that you seek to immigrate to Canada as
a "skilled worker", which includes higher education graduates.
According to Canadian immigration regulations, the assessment of your
education is based upon two factors:
- The total number of years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies
- The highest of the educational credentials earned
When adding up the years of your education, the result is 14 years. I
assume that these 14 years of education you enjoyed correspond to what
Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Canada considers "full-time or
full-time equivalent studies". So, in your particular case, the first
factor are 14 years of education.
The highest degree you earned is the Bachelor of Sciences. This should
equal what the Canadian regulations define as "a university degree of
two years or more at the bachelor's level".
Thus, the factors for the point calculation are:
- 14 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies
- A university degree of two years at the bachelor's level
For this particular level of education you will be awarded 20 points.
You can read the full education assessment chart, with all possible
combinations and the resulting amounts of points, here:

The amount of 20 points for a 14-year-education and a bachelor's
degree was defined on 11 June 2002 in the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations, 78.(2)(d)(ii). These particular regulations
have not been changed since:

I hope that this is what you were looking for!
