Hey everyone!

Finally! After 1 and a half years I got my ITA last wednesday. :D

However I have a peculiar situation on hands, and would like the help of you guys.

My wife and I got in Canada mid May with worker/student permit. Sadly the visa came in too late for her to start her studies on summer semester as intended, so therefore she got a deferral to start by Fall semester.

What should I place as her current activity on her personal details?

Obviously they will see our study and work permit stamped at our passaports, however she didnt start yet; if I place currently studying here in Canada, they will ask for canadian educational transcripts, on the other hand, if I place as her being unemployed or her university back in Brazil as her current studies, they might question her study permit.

What do you guys suggest?

Thank you very much!!!

You have to put it as unemployed. She is not studying currently. Explain that she got a deferral in LOE, for clarity.

I see... I agree with your point of view.

Better to explain the situation, to say something that can be understood as a lie from their side.

Thank you!
