How sure we are
Alberta’s grid gives 3 points for “less than 6 months” and has no row for none, so the app gives 3 points with no experience too.
The grid doesn’t say outright that the 5 location points need a job offer. Its wording implies it, so the app only counts them with an Alberta job offer.
