I am in a huge dilemma because when i submitted my Study visa application i did not show my B.A from India as I showed my Diploma in civil engineering. But now that my WES is done for my bachelor's and it is 3 years equivalency to canadian bachelor i am wondering if i could add my B.A to my PR application as i did not show it before .

Any help will be appreciated.

Go ahead and do the ammend because I am pretty sure you will be well aware that IRCC also gets a copy of your WES assessment. Do it soon before it comes under the lens of misinterpretion.

Actually when i applied my study visa from India i did not submit my B.A degree as i was waiting for my provisional certificate to come but i completed it in India.

But now I did WES and results showed 3 years equivalency to canadian bachelors.

So i am confused that whether i should add my B.A while making my Express Entry profile as i did not show it while applying my study visa.

You misrepresented your education to qualify for a study permit. It is actually quite problematic that you didn’t declare your bachelors. You could have been found to have misrepresented your education and end up with a ban. Would suggest consulting a lawyer but in general you shouldn’t now declare a bachelors.
