Eligibility of WORK EXPERIENCE under CEC

[trndeo]

I have a question regarding CEC work experience. I started my job on 20th March, 2014. I was a student when I got a skilled job (Quality Assurance Specialist), but at that time I wasn't enrolled as a full time student. As of now I have gained one year of full time skilled work experience. I worked on off campus work permit from March 20th, 2014 to September 30th, 2014. And I worked full time for this period of time and also took summer off. My spouse had a post graduate work permit and I applied for Open work permit to accompany my spouse in September, 2014 and got an open work permit effective as of October 1, 2014.
Can anyone please advise if the experience I got with off work campus work permit would be accepted if I apply under CEC?

    Who cannot apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class?
    
    The Canadian Experience Class is for people who already have skilled work experience in Canada.
    
    You are not eligible for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class if you gained your work experience:
    
    • without the proper authorization (for example, illegally, working without a visa),
    • in a job not classified as skill type 0, or skill level A or B according to the National Occupational Classification,
    • while you were self-employed, or
    • while on a student work permit (co-op, off-campus, or on-campus).
    
    You also must not:
    • have less than one year of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada, or
    • plan to live in Quebec.
