I want to get extra CRS scores and I am applying for CEC. FYI:

- Canadian work experience 1 year satisfied (2017 Jan to 2018 Jan) - Architectural technologists and technicians (NOC 2251-B)

- Foreign work experience during full-time enrolled student in USA (same NOC above):
1) I was enrolled in collage full time. But I took semesters off, and worked as full time worker. (from 2006 June to 2010 Aug: total 50 months)
2) I went back to school and worked as part time (20hours/week) until graduation. (from 2010 Sep to 2012 Dec: total 120 weeks, 2400 hours)

I'm applying CEC in May 2018. Counting only 10 years behind foreign work experience, it'll count as:

1) 2008 May - 2010 Aug: 2 years 3 months (full time work during semesters off period while enrolled in collage in USA)
2) 2010 Sep - 2012 Dec: 1 years 7 months (2400 hours - part time work while being a full-time student in USA)

Am I qualifying +3 years foreign work experience? I am confused because I don't know if they count my part time work experience occurred when I was a full time student.

Again I have satisfied Canadian work experience as a worker, not as a student - I am just asking about extra CRS score regarding foreign work experience.
