How is years of experience calculated?

[Mik486]

When I use the CRS score tool there is a question that kinda throws me off.
" In the last 10 years, how many total years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B)"
So does this mean if I had 4 different occupations in the last 10 years ( all in the same field: pharmacy) and all of them belong to NOC skill type 0, A or B), I can only choose how many years of experience do I have based on one of them only? I was pharmacy technician for 2 years then pharmacist for 1.5 years then pharmacy manager for 1.5 years. the only reason I have multiple occupation is because I am making my way up in the company. I am new to this and I am hoping to get some explanation. It doesn't seem fair that I can only get scored for 2 years when I have way more under my belt. I hope iam missing something.

you can consider all exp under the NOC skill type 0, A or B

Really? I thought to get max work exp points, you should have 3 years experience in your chosen primary NOC

1 yr continuous in primary noc. 3 yrs total in any noc 0,A or B

@navinball so if my primary NOC will be pharmacist (3131) how should I answer that question in the CRS score tool? Should I add all the years from my different occupations or should I answer only (1 or more year) since that's how long I worked specifically as pharmacist?
