Foreign experience between school years

Hello,

I have a question about the foreign experience while taking a break from school.

I went to the university in Canada since 2006 to 2011. After my 4th year, I took a break from studying (also didn't renew the study visa) and I went back to my country to gain some work experience. Then I came back to Canada to finish up the school years.

Does this count as foreign experience in EE?
Recently, I realized the co-op experience doesn't count towards the CRS points while you're a student even though I had study visa and work permit. So I was wondering when I took a break from the school, whether I was still considered as a student or not (although I didn't have a student visa while I was away).

Thanks
