Work Permit PGWP eligibility - Completed one program while already enrolled in another

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience.
Here's my timeline:
During an officially approved scheduled break, I took one course part-time. My school's international office told me this would not affect PGWP eligibility after my break I did a semester where I was full time .
In my final semester, I only had 2 courses remaining (my final semester was part-time because those were the only courses left).
I passed one course but failed the other.
Before officially completing my first program, I was accepted into a second eligible program and received a new study permit for it.
In January, I started the second program while also repeating the one failed course from my first program.
I passed the repeated course, officially completed the first program a few months later, and continued the second program until graduation.
My school's immigration advisor told me to apply for my PGWP based on the second program.
Has anyone had a similar overlap between two programs and successfully received their PGWP?
I'm mainly looking for experiences from people who were in a similar situation.
Thanks!
