Hi there,
im wondering if anyone here has upgraded their bachelor's earned in india to a canadian bachelor degree after immigrating to canada.
If yes, then what is the process and how many credits are needed.

^^ well this is what i wanted to know
1. first off - if my Bachelors from Delhi Univ. is recognised here
2. Secondly if I can upgrade to bachelors in Canada then i will be more maketable than another person who has his degree from another country. im saying this coz its known fact that canadian HR personnel do not always give equal status to education earned abroad when compared to education earned in canada.

Degrees from Indian Universities are recognized here ( for employment and education purpose). First of all, normally employer won’t ask you to show the degree but I would suggest you to get a certificate of equivalency either from York University or University of Toronto. This certificate can be used with your degree to prove that your degree is at par with Canadian degree.
Updating your Bachelor’s degree in Canada won’t give you any extra advantage in gaining employment. If you go for Masters, of course that would be another story.
Thanks and regards.
