The current interpretation by both companies right now is that you must complete your degree before you transition. Once accepted and your degree is finished, you may transition. I am currently in the CPP and I just recently finished my degree. In my interview the interviewer congratulated me and said "perfect timing too since it is a requirement of the program". Our union told us that the qualifications united deems an equivalent are for people with foreign degrees. They may modify the agreement as they see fit so the degree may not be a requirement in the future but it is for right now.

Do you have the quote handy? I don't right now.
ETA, was able to dig it out;
There may have been a change, a VERY RECENT CHANGE. But the language is so gray/vague and ambiguous that it's ALL UP TO the HR and hiring people, at their discretion.
