Your schooling is worth up to 25 points on the skilled worker grid: 5 for high school, 15 for a one-year program, 19 for two years, 21 for a program of three years or longer, 22 for two credentials where one ran three years or more, 23 for a master's or an entry-to-practice professional degree, and 25 for a doctorate.
