Hi,

Regarding the immigration application, I am wondering whether I will be
assigned some points for part time work experience or not.

You must convert part time experience to it's full time equivalent using
37.5 hours per week as full time work week.

I already have a work certificate which states that I have worked for my
company for about 2.5 years as part-time employee. But there is not
anything in the document which states that how many hours a week I have
worked there. I'm wondering if such a document is acceptable or not. If
yes, how the amount of equivalent full-time work is calculated?

Thanks,

Reference letter in such case should provide number of hours worked per week
as otherwise there is no way to convert it to full time equivalent. Part
time can mean anything from just few hours per week to anything under what
is considered a full time in the jurisdiction you worked. Processing
officers have no way to determine your full time equivalent of your work
experience if no conclusive evidence is provided. It is your burden to proof
your claims.
