hello everyone,

I just submitted my express entry profile and I have got 494 points.(1 year Canadian work ex and 1 year work from India)(1 year pg and 1 year pgwp)
some concerns about the points I have been given are as follows:
- In the work experience section since I have worked at 3 different restaurants, I have mentioned all 3 of them. But I had a gap of around 3 months because of the 1st place I worked closed down. I could only find a part-time for 3 weeks in which I worked a total of 76 Hours.
- After this, I had to go to India to get my documents to start my PR process (WES, Previous job letter etc). So that gave a gap between my 2nd and 3rd job. All the jobs are in the same NOC(B) and the same title.
- When I uploaded all of the information on CIC to open my profile. I have received 1 Year work in Canda points 40 which brings me in the pool.

What I need clarification on is, do I accept the ITA if I get it in the next round of invitations and give a covering letter stating the closing of the 1st restaurant and going to India for accumulating documents?
OR
Should I completely take off the Canadian Experience and just apply under Federal Skilled Worker?
I will mention the dates of my work below to make it easy to understand.

May 2018-November 2018 1st Job Full time (minimum 30hrs)
Dec 2018- Dec 2018 2nd Job Part-time ( total 76hrs)
Jan 2019- March 2019 (Break)
March 2019 - Present day 3rd job Full time (minimum 30hrs)

Why should CIC give me 1 year Canadian Work Ex points if they are going to eventually reject my application because of the break?

Has anyone come across this? If yes, please do let me know.

My work permit is expiring on July 15, 2019. So I need the ITA as soon as possible to apply for bridge visa to continue working while the PR process completes.

Thank you in advance.
