Thanks for your response, but yes, there doesn't seem a way where we can claim points for a workEx of less than a year. If anyone wants to add something from their experience, will appreciate that.
Look at the law, not just the instructions in application package. Based on the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
80. (1) Points shall be awarded, up to a maximum of 15 points, to a skilled worker for full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work, within the 10 years before the date on which their application is made, as follows:
(a) 9 points for one year of work experience;
(b) 11 points for two to three years of work experience;
(c) 13 points for four to five years of work experience; and
(d) 15 points for six or more years of work experience.
Marginal note:Listed occupation
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), points are awarded for work experience in
occupations, other than a restricted occupation, that are listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is, for eligibility for processing and minimum work experience requirement:
One year of continuous full-time work experience (or equivalent part-time)
For claiming points, the rule is different:
experience from more than one occupations is fine. The law never says that a work experience needs to be at least one-year of continuous full-time work experience to claim points.
I have attached the page on the Regulation for your reference:
