Need Help clarifying vacation on CEC

[vs.arun96]

Hi everyone,
I worked full-time (hourly) for a Canadian employer for 2.5 years. I took a 5-week trip to my home country during which I continued to work remotely, but not at full capacity—I only worked three full days a week and two days off.

Here’s the situation:

• I’m paid hourly, and my pay stubs only reflect the hours I actually worked.
• I did not cash out my vacation pay during this trip as i had a habit of cashing it out every 6-8 months.(so in this case my trip was in sept, but i cashed out my vacation pay in next feb as a separate paystub)

Can I classify those unpaid days as "vacation" (reasonable 2 days a week?) even if I didn't cash out my vacation pay that (i have a separate pay stub dated February that states vacation pay).
Any help in this regard is much appreciated... i received an invite and hoping i don't have to decline it....

P.s: i was given points for 3 years and i complete it exactly two days before the ITA expiry..

Will be up to VO but this should really be counted as foreign experience because this is unpaid vacation time and working from abroad for 5 weeks.
