No you cannot. Work experience obtained while having protected status does not count towards a CEC application. In your case, you don't even have protected status as you are still waiting to hear from IRB.

No - you cannot apply for CEC. Work experience gained while waiting for a refugee or H&C application to be processed cannot be counted towards any Canadian immigration program.
