Hi,
I am little bit confused after seeing my ECA report. I got my ECA from WES and educational equivalencies are as follows

Diploma(two years) and Bachelor's degree (4 years)

Can anyone please help me out what should I choose for Express entry?

You don't need to resort to two or more degree's option. It's enough to pick highest graduation in which case, bachelors for you.
For eg. Am a Masters and Bachelors degree holder, I simply opted for Masters and proceeded my case.

Not correct...
If he does not have masters then he should try to select two degrees option for both diploma and degree.....because two degrees will give more points when it's not masters....u had masters so u were good as masters alone gives highest points

You are eligible for "two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, one must be three or more years long" points.

When you will be creating EE profile you will be asked to fill up eligibility questionnaire first. You will be asked to answer your "Level of Education"- here you should select "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees."
If you score 67 and become eligible you will be able to create your EE profile. Here in education section you need to create two separate fields for your two credentials.

For your bachelors degree "Level of education" would be your actual level of education- this could be bachelors degree or masters because some people get masters evaluated as bachelors (check your certificate) then you will see another question for "level of education according to the ECA report", here you need to enter your level of education as per ECA which would be "Bachelor's degree".

Similarly for your second credential "Level of education" would be your actual level of education- this could be one or two year diploma (check your certificate). Again here "level of education according to the ECA report", would be "Two year degree, diploma or certificate".

Submit your profile you will be awarded points for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees." You are very lucky to have two post secondary credentials because now if you can score minimum Listening-8, Reading-7, Writing-7 and Speaking-7 in IELTS then you would be awarded extra skill transferability points which may take you near or over current CRS Cutoff Score.

Hope it helps, Good Luck!

You are right.
