So the experience is a follows

Company A: November 28th 2016- may 19th 2017 5 months 3 weeks

Company B: worked july 25th September 5th 1 month 1 week

Company C: September
25 2017 till October 17 2017 3 weeks

Company D: 18 th October 2017 -4th January 2 months 2 weeks

Company E: April 18th 2018-17th may 2019
(1 year 1 month)

Company F : 27th may - present
(1 year)

Upon entering the months in express entry profile, it gave points for 3 years. While on manual calculation it is less

If i get an ITA because of system calculated scores, should one accept the invitation? Because during process the experience will be definitely above 3 but would it be considered?

System calculates basis the month and not exact dates and hence the mismatch.

Also, my advice would be to use only company E and company F. It's not that you can't use all those companies but then you need solid documentation for each and every company. That means documentation for 6 different companies. If you're confident then go ahead but do consider whether you can get reference letters with all details that IRCC needs from all 4 companies where your experience is only few months.

Also you need 3 years at the time of ITA.

@red_bird08 , sorry to hijack your post.

During creation of EE profile, the work experience options in the drop down contain 4-5 years and 6 year or more "in only one occupation". I've been in my current company since June 2014 (5yr 8mo) and 3 years in my previous company without any break in between.

Should I be choosing 4-5 years or 6+ years? The confusion is whether "occupation" refers to a NOC code or a single designation. Any advise is really appreciated.

I wish they had just given 5 years or more!

You should go for 6+ years and get reference letters for both even if your NOC is different for both.
