Work experience 12 months or 365 days?

[Grizz]

For FSW-O application, if reference letter mentions employment dates as 9th November 2015 to 3rd November 2016 but also mentions the period of employment as 12 months, will that be counted as the required one-year work experience?

Please rephrase, not understanding the question.

Employment dates: 9th November 2015 to 3rd November 2016
Total period: 12 months.

This is mentioned in the work reference letter along with all the other required stuff like duties etc. My question is, since the dates are not exactly 365 days, it that going to be a problem?

The one year work is calculated in hours or days. So, if it doesn't meet 365 days, it should be 40 hours a week. Since, normal working week in India is 9 hours for 5 or 6 days. You should be good, provided that it is mentioned in the letter.

Yes it doesn’t go by months but by weeks. U have only completed 51 weeks and 1or 2 days may be. So as per the rules u r not eligible. With that being said I would still recommend to apply. May be ur file goes to a compassionate VO officer and he recognizes your experience as 1 year

This is not correct. Even if you worked for 40 hours per week or more, IRCC will only count 30 hours/week for full-time employment. You need 1560 hours to be eligible which means 1560/30 = 52 weeks.
That said, the OP may get the grace from VO for 1 year eligibility as it is only 5 days less than 1 year. If you've any other experience, you can try to include that to be safe.
