Should we put our entire education history after ITA?

I got an ITA in June 2024 and wanted to check if we need to put the entire education history (Bachelor's and Master's) in the Study and Languages section. When I created the Express Entry profile, I just put my highest education.

Is there an issue with listing your education history? You'll have to describe the unexplained gap in personal history anyways - better to tell the truth than lie.

??? they never said anything about lying. On your education history tab, as far as i know, you're only supposed to mention your highest level of education (that you're claiming points for), and everything else should go in the personal history.

Read my comment again. "I said if you don't declare, you'll have to write something else somewhere" - we've not reached a discourse where OP mentioned that they'll list anything in personal history. My take is rather cautionary for staying safe and not falling into the trap of lying. Given that each thread is 2-3 comments max before some abandons it, passing on the most important thing matters.

Thank you for commenting. Yes, I will mention everything in my personal history. I just wanted to check if we need to put it in the study and languages section, as I did not want to complicate the process by adding more documents for verification.

Usually, if you've WES done for it, adding it is easier. If you don't have an ECA, I guess it is up to you then. My immigration lawyer also advised me to move a bunch of non-CRS contributing details to my personal history to avoid documentation - that was post ITA and for things other than education.

okay, that makes sense. I do not have ECA for my bachelors so I will avoid entering those details and put it personal history.

Thank you to both of you for helping me.
