U can show PT work experience- u have it...
Ur education depends on if u have all the degrees in related fields.
They probably won't mix the architect with the doctor...
And, how long the comparable classes in Canada are. I guess u know what I mean.
If ur studies were 3 yrs - but in Canada u can have the same degree in 2 or 4...
Morepower,

Pursuant to R77, officers should award points for the credential and years of study that the
applicant has completed at the time the application is made.
If further study is completed and
documentation submitted between application and assessment, officers must award the points for
the highest educational credential obtained at the time of assessment.
A distance learning credential is eligible for points as long as it meets the definition of a credential
as outlined in R73.
If the credential is not described in terms of number of years duration (i.e.,
three-year bachelor's degree), officers should apply the definition of full-time equivalent study and
knowledge that the visa office has acquired on local education institutions and credentials.
There is a high incidence of fraud in this area. Verification checks should be conducted with
issuing institutions to ensure that program integrity standards are respected.
Pursuant to R78, officers should assess the application and award the applicant up to a maximum
of 25 points for education as follows:
