Should I list work experience that I cannot prove but don't need?

My last job was six months of Canadian work experience as an engineer but I cannot get a record of employment for it. The reason is because I was working with a contracting agency and I was "incorporated" which is kind of being a company instead of a person as far as finances is concerned (Services Canada said that I did not have a record of employment because I never contributed to employment insurance fund and was basically self-employed).

The thing is that I do not really need these 6 months of work experience since I have 4 years of experience outside of Canada. I do not want to be in a position where they ask me to prove these 6 months even though I have more than enough with my previous jobs which I can prove.

What do you guys recommend?

Add what you feel appropriate as long it doesnt affect your crs and add rest in personal history.

I meant the score. If it doesnt add anything to your expresa entry score, you can leave it. Make sure to mention it in personal history post ITA

Exclude any experience that is not giving you any points. This will make it easy for you to prepare your documents. Less hassle
