Backround declaration form

[robbiefernando]

Hi Folks,

can some one please assist me with this ? The form asks for the details of my personal history since I was 18 or the last 10 years which ever is earlier.

I was working and studying at the same time . for eg

march 2007 to december 2010 - working for one company
Jan 2007 to october 2009 - studying

How do I include these details ? Should I mention everything even if the dates overlap ? Or is it just the employment history that CIC is interested in ?

Also, half of the time I was on a student visa and then became a permanent resident. How do I include this ? eg - Jan 2007 to dec 2009 - student visa and then Jan 2010 onwards permanent resident. How do I include this ?

I am stuck with this form and its confusing me a lot. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Firstly, even if you're over 28 years old, include everything back until you WERE 18. I filled in the form correctly (I'm 32 so covered my history back until I was 22) but they still came back and asked me to provide information from when I was 18 so save yourself the time and go back to when you were 18 or the last 10 years (whichever is LONGEST).

Secondly, I'd include both studies and employment if I were in your position. Where they overlap, simply put them in chronological order by start-date.

In the Activity box indicate for each one whether it details "Study" or "Employment" so that it's clear. You could also include a supplementary note to briefly explain that this 10+ year period included constant work with periods of study or constant study with periods of work, etc.

I'd include the Student Visa and Permanent Resident details in the Status column - this should show a chronological flow from when you started as a student and then became a permanent resident. If you include a supplementary note, mention this on there too.

Hope this is helpful.
