Arrears/Backlogs (Additional years for degree) affect my ECA and Work Experience for Express Entry?

[thog89]

Hi all,
I did my B.tech in Computer Science during the years 2009-2013. I had 21 arrears/backlogs during my course. My course was completed in 2013 and I did not attend college after 2013. I took 4 extra years to finish my Bachelors. Got my degree in 2017.

But I stared working full time as a Software Engineer from 2015. I saw some sample ECA reports and it shows the year degree was awarded. In my case it is 2017. I have applied for ECA yesterday only and I'm awaiting the report.

Since I started working from 2015, my work experience of 2 years from 2015 to 2017 is before graduation and 1 year from 2017 to 2018 is after graduation.

My question is, can I count my experience as 3 years or 1 year ?

Thanks in advance...

It depends which NOC code you are applying for. If that NOC code needs Bachelors education, then it will be difficult.

That is if i could select draft man noc instead of mechanical engineer in future any problems

My question is also kind of same..

My B.Tech degree(2013-2017) got extended due to backlogs by 1 year and it was awarded in 2018. My question is that I've been working in IT sector since 2017, will my experience be counted for PR from 2017 or from 2018?

Please help me with this, Sir....
