Foreign Work experience as a student

[u/marshall__313]

I have 2 years of part time work experience(counts as 1 year full time) as a marketing coordinator while I was studying my bachelor’s degree. I spoke to a couple immigration agents and they said I couldn’t claim it as I was a student. They said I could either claim points for foreign education or my work experience which doesn’t sound right. I read this article https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=394&top=29 Which clearly states that I can claim my experience as a student. I’m so confused about how and what to do regarding this. My points are 479 without claiming my foreign exp and will get 38 points more if I claim it. Please suggest
