I have worked for three different companies. Can I use different NOC codes for three different companies and combine the experience to calculate my CRS score?
For example:
1. NOC 2141: 11 Months experience with one Company
2. NOC 2141: 4 Months experience with one Company
3. NOC 2148: 2 Years experience with one Company
So in total, I have more than 3 years of work experience but with three different companies in different countries. Can I write that I have three years of experience to calculate my CRS score?
I am confused about this because in the following link:

It clearly says:
Your skilled work experience must be:

Your skilled work experience must be:
- in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation) - My NOC is different, so this condition does not satisfy for me.
- within the last 10 years - Satisfied
- paid work (This means you must have been paid wages or earned commission. Volunteer work or unpaid internships don’t count.) - Satisfied
- at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week). You can meet this in a few different ways: Does not satisfy for the first two jobs as my first experience was for 11 months and then 4 months for different companies
- full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
- equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
- full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
