EEA Permanent residence application | CSI GAPS

Hello to all!

I have searched the forum but was not able to find how the CSI gaps are treated.

I am from EU, entered country on 2009. Was working for two years, full time.
Decided to start studying in a UK university, did a course from 2011 to 2014. Graduated and was back to working.

So, to sum up:

2009 - working full time
2010 - working full time
2011 - studying / no CSI
2012 - studying / no CSI
2013 - studying / no CSI
2014 - studying / no CSI
2015 - working full time
2016 - working full time
2017 - working full time

Can 2009 and 2010 be counted towards my PR clock if it was followed by a four year gap of being student without CSI? I never left UK for a longer than 2 weeks period.

I was thinking to call the helpline, but after reading several topics, decided to ask here... Thank you for the answer in advance!

No it can't, you need 5 years of continuous exercising treaty rights as a qualified person to be able to apply for PR.
