Started a foreign full-time WFH job after applying for PGWP. Can I use my 1 year of foreign experience from this to claim CRA points?

Got an interview for this tech job while I was applying for my PGWP last year and I got accepted and started training right as I got approved for the PGWP. Eventually found a fulltime job in Canada in September but these are different NOC fields and the hours were spaced out enough I figured its manageable to keep both for experience. Now I have the 1 year foreign experience and I'm wondering can I use this to claim CRS points under EE? Or can you only claim points for foreign work you performed before getting your PGWP? I've quit that job now and focused on getting my 1 year of canadian experience finished to submit my file. Please give me some help here regarding my doubts.
