well that means I can't apply for BC PNP, because I need to have a profile with 1 year of work experience in EE.
That why does BC PNP Int. Grad stream mentions you DO NOT need any work experience to apply / just a job offer?
You are eligible for BC PNP, but not for FSW, CEC, FST programs.
They work dependently from each other.
Being eligible for BC PNP doesn't exempt you from being eligible for Federal program.

So, you need to wait till you complete 1 full year of continuous work experience before actually submitting EE profile. Before that, you'll receive a notice saying you're not eligible.

You can't apply for BC PNP now! I didn't say you could! You misunderstood me. Because to apply for BC PNP you need to already have a valid EE profile showing you meet the criteria for one of the programs!

Better now than having to see your application being rejected.
Finish 1 year of work XP, create and submit an EE profile, and apply for BC PNP Intl Grad.
All the best, cheers.

Thank you! And will this be OK if I hop from job to job during this 1 year?
I will make sure to get a document from each stating my duties and time worked.

Can I combine them into 1 year later , assuming they were all the same NOC? And is the gap between them (say 1-2 month) could be a problem?
Sorry I am asking you too many questions

Unfortunately, if you do have 1-2 month gap, the continuity requirement will be voided, and you won't be able to use to fulfill the 1-year minimum.
It's paramount that the 1-year be continuous, without any breaks at all. No hopping from job to job, as that will naturally create gaps, and therefore discontinuity.
No worries for the questions!
Cheers

Actually, I was answered similar question on this forum before by DelPiero07 in the different thread

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/documents-from-work-to-prove-1-year-work-experience.585312/,

he said

You are a CEC applicant so there is no continuity requirement and you can combine NOC's to meet the eligibility criteria.
Am I missing something? Because he is saying that there is no continuity requirement

Please read up on the difference between Skilled Immigration and express entry

It is clear as daylight that you do not need work experience if you are going to apply non express entry. It is a bit slower but it is a legitimate option
Yes we know there is a difference.
He was going for Express Entry process.
Read his question again.

Yes you don't need work experience if going through SI Intl' Grad.
