There is no specific point value assigned to a degree for Canadian Permanent Residence (PR) applications. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), used for Express Entry, awards points based on factors like:
- Age: Points are awarded based on your age at the time of application.
- Education: Points are awarded for your highest level of education, including your degree.
- Work Experience: Points are awarded for your skilled work experience.
- Language Proficiency: Points are awarded for your English or French language abilities.
- Adaptability: Points are awarded for factors like your Canadian education or work experience, and your spouse's language proficiency.
The number of points you receive for your education will depend on the level of your degree, the institution where you studied, and the field of study.
For example, a Master's degree from a recognized Canadian university in a high-demand field will likely earn you more points than a Bachelor's degree from a foreign university in a less in-demand field.
You can use the CRS calculator on the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website to estimate your potential CRS score.
