I have completed my B.Tech and was in batch 2011-2015 however due to some backlogs got the degree completed in 2017.
Though I had all my subjects cleared, I didn't went to college to collect my mark sheets and the college printed the transcript (final semester mark sheet) in 2018. Now 3 out of 8 mark sheets have the issuing date after 2015 which are of 2017 and 2018.

Although my graduation was not completed, I started my professional career from August 2015 working as a full time employee (40 hours/week).
Please let me know if my work experience will be counted from August 2015 or after the graduation got completed.

Thanks in advance.

It should be after you have a degree to practice in your profession.

Thanks a lot for clearing out my doubt. Cheers.

Could you please let me know what should I enter for this question: Date first became qualified to practice in this occupation?
Will it be the month my college ended in 2015 or the month in which I started my first job in 2015 or the issuing date on degree (I believe I should not enter this) ?
Thanks in advance.

Either 2015 or the date when you started your job.

Just adding my question(which is in another separate thread) to this thread as it is active and looks similar,

I am in the process of submitting an ExpressEntry application and with regards to the Work History section i have a question, Below is my Case
Degree : BE Mechanical Engineering (2008 - 2012)
First Job : Accenture (Start Date : May 2012) as a full time employee(45 hours per week)
My final semester results were announced by June 2012. But i got an arrear backlog in one of the subjects i had to take the exam again on Nov 2012 and cleared it. thus my Degree certificate indicates completion on 'Nov 2012' but if i did not have the arrear it would have been May 2012(Matching my work experience start date)

So based on my work experience i now have 6+ years experience, On considering my degree certificate (exams completion date) it is only 5+ years of experience.

question :
What should be my experience years ?(5+ or 6+ years )
If 5+, then i have a start date of my employment as May-2012, that does not match up.(The experience certificate from organisation states start date it as May 2012, i cannot change it).

Note : Accenture was okay with my backlog as they gave 6 months time from joining date to submit the degree certificate(eventually i cleared it within 6 months time period).
