Completion of a college-level certificate (one year) and bachelor's degree (three years)

I am so confused with this express entry application. Below are my credentials:

I completed my Diploma in 2011 and had the whole year cross credited to my Bachelors, which then reduced it to a two degree program.
Obviously at the end of the day, they are still two different courses and when you put them in the form, they come up with higher points than just bachelors.

My question is what do I put in "You must enter the number of full academic years you completed, supported by a final transcript" for my bachelors.Obviosuly if I did not get cross credit I would not have been able to finish it in two years, its a 3 year program after all. Do I follow WES evaluation and have 3 years in that field?

You should follow your actual degree certificates and ECA report. If your transcript says it is a 3 years degree then you put three years even though your course dates may be lesser than 3 years. You will see in your transcript it says you were exempted for 1st year and given credits for prior learning. That means you have fulfilled the conditions for that year also. So your course duration would be 3 years and level of education would be bachelors degree 3 years.

Similarly you should put actual details of your level 5 diploma. level of education according to ECA would be "1 year diploma, degree, certificate".
Good Luck!

Did you do your ECA from WES?
