I'm about to submit my PR application but I still have some doubts about the Personal History section of the IMM008 form.
What if the space in the form is not enough? Should I photocopy the original blank form page and keep on listing everything there or provide them with a list of my activities written in a separated paper sheet?
my choice is to use an excel or word table document to maintain this data and attach with a comment on original form "see attached", properly labeled and signed of course
The instructions say you should add an additional piece of paper. You have to read these VERY carefully. Here's a link to the HTML version, there's also a pdf version, which I printed and read twice before starting.
On the top of the paper I put the my name and the exact name of the form.
Then I copied the questions exactly as it was on the form (including the number). I created a table exactly like the one on the form, using Word. And then I filled in that table.
I stapled the additional sheets to the forms they went with.
In my cover letter I listed all the forms I had included noting "with additional information" for those forms to which I had added more information.
