Express Entry Work Experience!

Hi.

I came to Canada in 2019, started working as a Cafe Supervisor (NOC B) since August 2019, but due to Covid-19, the store had to be closed from March 2020.
I had to stop working then I got a new job as a Cafe Manager (NOC 0) started June 2020.

My employer is currently working on LMIA (the job ads are on) but I heard it takes long time to get results or get positive results now.
Therefore, I am thinking of applying for Express Entry at the same time if I am eligible.

Before I start my application I want to know
- Can 1 year experience be from two different jobs? (for my case, 7months as NOC B, 5months will be NOC 0)

- If first question is allowed, when I apply for EE, should I apply under NOC B where I worked longer or NOC 0 where I am currently working at the moment?

Thank you!

You can use any skilled work experience in Canada. You should presumably give your current NOC as your primary one.

As for the LMIA it can take several months, but if you do get it you will receive a boost of 50 points to your CRS score which can help you get an ITA for PR.
