apply as a transfer student. either they will give you credit and admit you to second year of degree or they will ask you to start from first year again.

so, problem solved. don't try to hide your b.tech. applying as a transfer student is the best option.

Because of my low grades i may not get admission as a transfer student, so what should i do.
two options:

1) apply to a not so good university, if they admit you to second year, try transfer again to another university by scoring good marks.

recommended 2) since you have got PR, enter canada on basis of your PR, then do diploma from college, ask college to give you admission in second year because you have done btech. first year course. if college agrees, then ok, if not then join first year of diploma, college will not worry about GAP of 2 years, after doing diploma do a bridge program of 6 months, then you can be given admission to 3rd of degree in reputed university, but you will need to study hard during diploma and bridge program.

usually you search for the college that has the course in which you want to transfer (use google) then on that college's website, you find the procedure to transfer. and read about credit transfer (credit is just like the points which you earn after giving exams and completing tests).

bridge program is a program which diploma holders do to get admission in good university in 3rd year of degree after completing diploma. some people don't need to do bridge program, it depends on university in which you want to take admission. (you can do bridge program at any time after doing diploma, so don't worry about that, first try getting diploma and then shortlist university and after that you check that whether you need bridge program or not.)

bridge programs are run by colleges who have contract with universities. (these type of colleges first ask you to do 6 month bridge program from their college and then get admission in 3rd year of uni with which they have contract). i know of few bridge programs in engineering, but i dont know of any other bridge program. (don't think so much ahead first you take admission in diploma in the subject which you like)
