Unpaid Time off + Covid19 salary cut

[cori_i]

Hello!
I received an ITA with the last draw (28 May 2020) CEC with 445 points.
I have one year of experience from a previous job in Canada, one year foreign work experience, and my current Canadian job started 23 April 2018, so *basically* other 2 years.
At some point, with my current job, I took 10 weeks off ( unpaid) to focus on improving my CELPIP score. Now, I've not been fired or anything, and I do meet the MEC for CEC.
Should I wait to send the application until I have 3 years of Canadian work experience? Because the CRS system did award me 3 years.
Also, with the experience letter, do I have to send all my paystubs as well?

On top of that, since COVID19 hit, my boss cut my wage by 30%, should be that mentioned in the work experience letter?

your salary does not matter. Paystubs always help in the sense that it's additional proof on top of the work ex letter.

Do you think I should wait for me to have ACTUAL 3 years, or I can send it anyway

Best option is to wait until you actually have 3 years of work experience. Otherwise there's a risk of refusal since a 10 week unpaid leave is pretty long and technically should not be counted in your work experience.
