I am currently working in Montreal on closed work permit. I was working from Apr-2019 to 15-Apr-2020. Due to the pandemic impact , I got removed from the project for 3 months and was receiving CERB for the interim period. Started working with the employer from 15-Jul-20 onwards. Want to know whether I can consider those 3 months as my canada experience? Any one experienced this?
In my Express entry profile I mentioned the break for 3 months. Want to know whether it is really required to show the break for 3 months. Don't want to miss some points in the CRS score , hence this question.
 
Not sure whether my employer will show the gap for 3 months. What would happen if they mention the gap? Even if I receive the ITA , I would still have 90 days time to apply for PR, so that 90 days gap will be offset ,right?
 
I have a query. I had submitted an application for Express Entry last year in July. As of now my eligibility is only under FSW. My current score is 444. But, I complete 1 year of Canadian work experience on 2nd March 2021. Will my score automatically get updated to include the additional points for 1 year of Canadian Experience (My original score when I had filed the application was 449. But it got changed to 444 in August when I lost 5 points for age on my birthday) or will I have to update my application myself? Thanks in advance.

make sure your the dates in your reference letter matches your EE profile, so if there’s a gap, mention that. You reference letter should be dated AFTER you completed 1 year of Canadian work experience, so you probably have to wait the last minute to submit all documents.

If you keyed in your Canadian work, you’ll be granted points for that on your 11th month.Proceed with the application but submit only after you completed 1 year.

Edit: when you get ITA, Proceed with the application but submit only after you completed 1 year.
