CIC News
Published: December 1, 1998

Q. Does a certificate i.e.: MSCE certificate hold the same "value" or weight as a degree from a university?

Answer: For the purpose of the immigration procedure, no, it does not. As the MCSE does not have a specific time frame in which the studies are undergone, it is often the case that this certification, on its own, does not warrant any points in excess of those obtained for the previous level of education
completed.
