I am under CEC 1 year + work experience in Canada, but I also got points for playing hockey in USA on a semi-professional level for 3 years. I have my reference letter and everything can be proved very easily.

This is from CIC:

5251 Athletes
Athletes participate in competitive sports events on an amateur or professional basis. They play team sports such as hockey, baseball, football and lacrosse; or compete in individual sports such as skiing, figure skating, boxing or track and field; or in games such as poker or chess. Athletes are employed by professional team organizations or they may be self-employed. This unit group also includes competitors such as chess players and poker players.

Is here anyone else who is getting points under NOC athletes? Any comments are appreciated.
 
I think you can. In fact I was told by my one friend that his girlfriend applied under the category of dancer for cec. I never got a chance to talk to him but I think if a dancer can apply why not an athlete can claim a point.
