If you are working, you must stop. You can’t work at all and must restore your status to student. As for reconsideration you were rightly refused since the requirements state full time studies unless the last semester. You can try and submit with your explanation. If the school can back up your explanation even better.

Since you have a valid explanation and proof of what happened your chances are good. Did you include a letter of explanation the first time?

You were correctly refused according to the rules, it is up to the officer to decide if an explanation is sufficient to give you an exemption.
You should try requesting a reconsideration first, send webform as well as call IRCC.

In 3rd semester i have 4 subjects i passed in 1 subject and while doing other 2 subjects my CAQ got expired so college removed me from doing that courses because of not having valid CAQ even though i applied before expiry
And after getting my CAQ i did my courses according to schedule given by management

IRCC considers it your responsibility to be full time except in last semester so its still correct refusal, however you should have explained it in your application without an explanation the officer doesn't really have anything to work with to make an exception, a lot of people have been getting PGWP even with part time, I think IRCC is really taking it easy on the rules lately.
So try requesting reconsideration with a clear explanation if that doesn't work try restoration/applying again.

What are the chances for approval?
