Before creating EE profile, we have to go through the "come to Canada" online tool to check the eligibility.

I have 1-year full-time continuous experience as an electronics engineer and 1.5-year full-time continuous experience as a mechanical engineer. But there was a 3-month gap between the 2 jobs. So: when being asked "In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation.", how many years should I put here, 1 year or 2-3 years?

If I put 1 year, my result was not eligible
If I put 2-3 years, my result was eligible

I calculated my points for 6 factors on different websites, the results were same: if I claim 1-year work exp, I got 77/100; if I clain 2-year work exp, I got 79/100. So I think I met the minimum requirement.

Anyone who knows please help! Can I put 2-3 years there? Thanks!!
