Well i actually applied to a Canadian college and got accepted, but unfortunately my visa was refused as i applied to take my family with me as i have 2 kids and don't want to stay apart from them for a long time.
It's been impossible to find someone to hire an international worker, and we used to have "cash flow" but my savings have been wiped out by the economic crisis and my business severely affected by the port explosion so the only option left now is another degree to guarantee invitation since i don't need much more points.
The UK level 7 degree is a great idea, but i tried checking the schools i found online in the WES degree equivalency tool and none of them showed up.
If i go ahead with this anyway, might my degree not get recognized?
Option 1 is great as well but to be honest, i would be simpler for me to study for a simpler degree like the UK level 7 in supply chain (my job) than do a full MBA as i have been out of university for a long time and have work and family commitments. But how hard is the material and how realistically can they be finished in a short time?
To answer your questions... 1) In 2018, my buddy asked me about immigration to Australia, they have a 2 year diploma and wanted to get an extra year of education. I told them about the UK Level 7 diplomas and he had it evaluated for immigration purposes, it came out to a graduate diploma (not a degree). In the end, I told him he didn't really need it as he was moving after marriage, it's just a formality to have an extra year for employment later and he was able to get a government job with it.
2) In regards to use for Canada, I've been telling people to use the 1 year UK Level 7 Diploma for several years now, as I know it will transfer into a graduate level diploma and add a year of education to their applications. Since 2015, I haven't had any rejections or anyone telling me that they've failed to get that 1 year added towards their Bachelors yet.
3) These technically should be 1 year to complete, but alas, it's all self paced... you can complete them in 3, 6, 9 or the entire 12 months, depending on how "fast" you can complete these, they usually have a "cheaper" tuition package if you can complete it sooner. Most of these can be had for just above 1K BP (do not go for anything cheaper as there are many that are under 1K but their UK standard is not using the ATHE, BEC, LRN, OTHM qualifications that have Ofqual, some even have created their own qualifications - don't go for those)
Any update on the Level 7 diploma? Do you study online or a offline school?
yeah, i studied for this online, finished it and it got accepted by WES.
