Is one-month gap ok for "continuous" work experience for FSW EE?

Hello, I worked in 2 different companies in the same position (same job title, NOC-A), but I had a month gap before starting the second job.
Does this still meet the requirement of the continuous 1 year work experience?

Here is the scenario:
July, 2017 -- January, 2018 -- part-time company A (21hr/week)
March, 2018 -- October, 2018 -- full-time company B (37.5hr/week)

Besides, can I mix the hours of part-time and full-time jobs to meet 1,560 hours?

Thank you.

Even if there was no gap, it would not meet the requirement. It needs to be in the same company.

That's incorrect. It must be in the chosen Primary NOC and it can be with more than one company as long as there is no break in continuity.

"
Minimum work experience requirement
The applicant must have accumulated at least one year of continuous full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) paid work experience in the occupation identified in their application for permanent residence as their primary occupation. In calculating this period of work experience, the occupation must be listed in skill type 0 (Managerial occupations), skill level A (Professional occupations) or skill level B (Technical occupations and skilled trades) of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2016 [R75(2)(a)]."

No. It does not meet the requirement.
Thanks for the answer.
I'm still working in the company B now, so does it mean that I can not use the work experience in company A anyway(not for the points, just for 1 year work experience)?
Is there any similar case didn't go through? like a few weeks between changing the jobs
Thanks again

You cannot use it to meet the continuity requirement.

Hi, My friend has changed a company from one to another, she has been working under the same NOC (with the same duties) but she had a gap of 3 days between changing job place. Is this okay under "Continuous 1 year full-time work experience"?
