After getting my PGWP, I initially worked as a Customer Service Rep for about 5 months. Later I joined a different company and took on a completely different role, Project Accountant and I have been working here for 8 months now. Can I add these two job and count it as 12 months experience to apply under CEC?

Thanks!
 
If your first job was a skilled job (i.e. it falls under NOC 0/A/B) and you gained it after you successfully completed your program of studies, then yes you can count that as qualifying work experience for CEC. For more information on CEC please click on the below CIC link found in my signature.
 
Yeap my first job was a NOC A category job that required a bachelors degree
 
are you sure it was NOC A? Most "customer service" positions are classified as skill level C, and a quick search of NOCs using the term "customer service" does not come up with any NOC A positions...
