I opened the link and I have copy-pasted here what it says. It says a 3 year degree + any one from the list...Check this CIC link and focus on the below highlighted sentence:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/education-assessed/read-report.html
"A three-year or more certificate, diploma, or degree
PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school)"
The minimum duration in all the listed sections is one year. I hope it answers your question.

Do you know how many credits does your course equate to? The one I have looked at are 12-16 credits.It doesn't say a year you are correct.
I am going down this route myself, starting a postgraduate certificate in May, which finishes in November ( full time course at university ). It is a years course, but I am completing it (hopefully) in 6 months by taking two semesters at once. My university is pretty clear that it is a full post graduate certificate equivalent to a year of study, so in theory it should boost my points.
The true challenge will be with the ECA institutions, which are in my experience so far, completely useless and not fit for purpose and certainly not worth the fees they charge. I have an email from one, essentially saying "yes we agree that your study is in excess of what we accredited you with, but we are ignoring that because it doesn't fit tidily into our tick box exercise"....... the other one actually change their website after I showed them my credentials were catered for on their own website material ( which you can still evidence via the way back machine ) and I have stored the HTML files.
So I would say pursue the extra study at your own risk, even if it is completely valid, does not mean the likes of WES or IQAS will treat it as such.
For what its worth I am documenting my entire process to share with others, next year is my last roll of the dice before I give up as my cripplingly advanced age of 36 essentially cuts me off from entry into Canada, even if I achieve a PHD.... so at that point I will share everything I have in some way so that others can learn from what I have experienced.
I hope you make it this year ....what u have just pointed is pure hypocrisy on part of evaluating agency...It doesn't say a year you are correct.

15-16 credits using the equivalent for CATS credits.Do you know how many credits does your course equate to? The one I have looked at are 12-16 credits.
Even if it's just a day short don't take chances, as you just started working I'm sure age is on your side so create EE profile again once you gain min required experience and hope to get a NOI again.Hey everyone,
I recently got a NOI for OINP on the 26th of March, but I'm in a weird situation with my work experience.
I started working full-time(40 hours) on the 21st of April 2017, so I technically only have 11 months and change of experience.
I created my express entry profile on March 14, and selected April 2017 as starting date (can only select months on EE). On EE I always appeared as eligible for CEC, even though I didn't complete 12 full months yet. So I'm not sure if they calculate the hours equivalent to 1560 or how it works at all.
Now making my OINP application, this section is kind of scary: Note: Any work experience obtained after you received your Notification of Interest through your IRCC online account will not count towards the minimum 12 months of work experience required. You must have accumulated at least 12 months of work experience by the date that you received your NOI to qualify under the Human Capital Priorities Stream.
They ask for the specific day I started working, instead of just the month as well. So I'd be filling my employment start date as 21st of April 2017, while my NOI was on 26th of March 2018.
Do you all think I would get rejected?
I guess you don't have an EE profile yet! If you had one then you wouldn't have asked me this question. When you will be filling education part of your EE profile you have to select your Level of Education from a drop down menu where you will only see options forThe 1 year minimum duration - is it listed anywhere, or is based on your experience?
See this link for an example of a graduate certificate course on Project Management from a Canadian institute. The course is 6 months long.

I am not trying to challange you or anything, I am just trying to find whatever I can...
The picklist on the website does say this you are correct however hereI guess you don't have an EE profile yet! If you had one then you wouldn't have asked me this question.

You must have a Completed Canadian equivalent certificate, diploma or degree which are mentioned in the conversion table and you must select one of the options as level of education. If your ECA says Diploma (one semester) then which option you would chose? None! One semester duration is not a completed credential. You must have at least One year long certificate, diploma or degree along with minimum three years diploma or degree to be able to claim points for "Two or more certificates.....".
