I went and spoke to an immigration official today, and she informed me it was actually 12 months WORTH of full time work that is needed to qualify for CEC, and not 12 exact months. You have to have a minimum of 1560 hours of skilled work to apply, regardless of whether it was completed in 12 months or 8 months.
