The Software Engineer occupation has already capped and CIC is not longer accepting applications. If you want to apply as a Software Engineer, you'll need to wait until next year and apply through Express Entry.

The 3 Software and Software related NOCs - 2174, 2173 and 2171 have all capped.
But just so you know, for FSW, your education is of no relevance as far as eligibility is concerned.
Its a different question altogether as to how well you would fit in the job market itself but given the fact that IT is majorly a 'skill' based sector, your experience can also substitute for qualification but it totally depends on the employer.
