  Does CIC count Distance Learning University Degree

Im doing the Distance Learning at some University in US

Im not in America, but after finishing the University I will submit the Degree to CIC,

It doesn?t write that is Distance learning Degree.

My question is, if I submit the degree, CIC will request for a police clearance. How can I get the clearance I have never been is US.



Does anyone has this kind of experience or at least share some answer. (guess etc)?.

You are actually asking two separate questions.

Re. the degree itself: It all depends on which university and which degree. Different universities (even within the same country) are treated differently. You need to get your qualifications assessed by the proper professional body in Canada to see how they rate.

Re. police clearance from the US: You weren´t thinking of claiming you studied in the US, were you? I hope not, or you might be in for a rude shock. It´s better to be upfront and say that it was a distance learning program.

Same answer. It depends on the university and the degree. Some courses that do not require physical attendance are recognized, others aren´t. A good example of a field that is recognized is accounting, where off-site learning is now very popular.

And don´t assume that because a university is in the US, recognition is automatic. I recall ABC had a feature not too long ago exposing a number of, let´s just say, not-very-scrupulous distance learning institutions.
