Primary NOC - Work experience question

Experienced members - please advise:

I had started my ACCA in 2009 and cleared fundamental levels in June 2011 - professional exams took me longer and completed in Jan 2015. However, I started working since Feb 2011 (NOC 1212) to June 2015 (NOC 1212) and then switched to NOC 1112 June 2015 to present.

I claimed 3 plus years of experience and got ITA but when I am filling the work experience, its asking me for Primary NOC where they can assess my application and the date I qualified to practice that.

In order not to lose points in post-ITA assessment, shall I make NOC 1212 as the base/primary NOC as that has lesser education requirement i.e not requiring Bachelors. That way, I can claim that June 2011, I had fundamental level of ACCA cleared allowing me to work in that skill level and claiming 3 years experience in NOC 1212. Later I can proof - NOC 1112 as having 1.5 years experience and completed my ACCA in Jan 2015 can support that.

Please suggest if that is the correct way?

Incase I put 1112 as primary NOC, they might see I graduated in Jan 2015 and give me two years experience which might make me lose points and beings out of this ITA. Does it work that way? Otherwise why would they ask this question? Confused!

In my opinion yes.
