Hello every one,

I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. It included 1 year of Foundation followed by 4 years of Undergraduate studies. It was in American System that has semesters and credit hours. My ECA report states that my degree is equivalent to Bachelor's degree (four years).

What should i enter in the "Complete/full academic years" field for express entry application?

When you click on the little question mark on top of that question in the form - it says the number of years as "Supported by a final transcript."

So how many years does your transcript say? If it says 5 years then put 5 or else put 4.
