I have a query about my educational history in the Express Entry application. In Pakistan, I completed two years of Bachelor's and two years of Master's degrees, totaling 16 years of education. I'm not sure which choice to select for my education; it's a bachelor's degree in terms of years, but the title of my degree is 'Master of Science'. Pls share if anyone has had a similar experience.

Declaring foreign degrees in Express Entry: the ECA decides your education level
Sadia Ishaq Create a timeline of your activities for past 10 years. Anything from this list against which you are claiming points (employment, highest degree from Canada), put it in the relevant section (Work History and Education, respectively). Everything else goes into Person Activities section (e.g. MPhil, other degrees, other work experience). No proof or documentation is required for this section.
Sadia Ishaq Any non-Canadian education does not matter if you don't have ECA for it. You can add it in Personal Activities section after receiving ITA, if it falls within last 10 years. While creating your EE profile (before ITA) only mention your highest Canadian degree or a degree for which you have ECA. Have you received ITA or are you just creating an EE profile right now?
Uzair Ahmed No. I don't have ECA. I have done an MPhil and then recently I received PhD from Canada. What if I do not mention this Master in the education record and only give my MPhil and PhD records. Then, I have another Master from Australia. I am not getting any points for my previous qualifications. What do you suggest will it be okay?
Uzair Ahmed I have received ITA. At that point, I did not mention this qualification. I gave records of my MPhil, Master from Australia and PhD.
You need to do ECA first. The education level you select will be what is stated on the ECA report. You can't select education level on your own.
Uzair Ahmed Thank you for your detailed reply. It's so kind of you. I got it.
Have you done ECA for you Master's degree?
