Hello if anyone can answer this

If I have studied masters of engineering in Canada and this is how it looks like

1st semester
Sept to Dec full time as per university definition of full time studies (9 credit hours)

2nd Semester
Jan to Apr full time as per university definition of full time studies (9 credit hours)
Summer break

3rd Semester
Sept to Dec full time as per university definition of full time studies (9 credit hours)

Last semester
Jan to Apr part time becuz it was my last semester and I was left with only 4 credits hours to complete

Will I get 5 points for studies in Canada under adaptability ??

I m actually asking on behalf of my friend.

Masters degree earned and remained full for 3 semester and during last semester he bacame part time as per the definition of full time and part time by his university.

However for FSW under adaptability if u have studied for 2 academic year full time u get 5 points. But Cic defines full time as 15 contact hrs/wk which is a different definition then how full time student is defined by his university and i.e. 9 contact hrs/wk.

His institute is designated so will he get 5 points under adaptability for study in canada bassd on how his college defines full time or how Cic defines
