Hello I want to know when we are creating our EE profiles do we also need to include dates. I have changed 3 companies last year. I started my NOC B job on July 21st, 2014. I worked there till 26 Sept., 2014 (9.5 weeks). Then I work for another company from 8th October, 2014 till 12 Nov., 2014 (5 weeks). Currently I am working for the company where I started on 21st November, 2014 and currently working there. So far I have accumulated 31 weeks there.

My first question. If I make my EE profile on 1st July 2015 (started working on 21st July, 2014), would system treat my experience as 1 year experience or I should create my profile on 21st July, 2015 for the system to treat my experience as 1 year experience?

Or I should create my profile on 7 August, 2015. By that time I would have 52 weeks (1 year work experience if we go by dates) work experience.

Should that experience be from 1 employer or it can be from different employers as long as I have 52 weeks full time experience?

EE profile doesn't have the date field. The lowest granularity is month.

For CEC work experience eligibility, check here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

For FSWP work experience eligibility, check here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

For FSTP work experience eligibility, check here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/trades/apply-who.asp

As you can see there, the focus is on having number of hours - 1560 hours equals 1 year of full time experience. Plus I don't believe there is a restriction that it has to be with 1 employer.

All the best!

No - you can't. You need one full year (i.e. 12 months) of full time work experience - as well as meeting the minimum number of hours.
