URGENT! PGWP application form question

[Longhair]

I am currently filling my PGWP application. My situation is, I have had 2 study permits. The first which expired in 2018, so it shows date issued 2016 and expiry date 2018. Then I applied for an extension, so my new study permit shows date issued 2018 to expiry date 2020. I am at number 7. it states:

Current country or territory of residence:
Country or territory which is Canada
Status is Student
From ________?
To ___________?

Now according to the instruction guide it says:

Question 7
From the list, select the appropriate information to indicate your immigration status in Canada:

• Citizen
• Permanent resident
• Visitor
• Worker
• Student
• Other
• Protected Person
• Refugee Claimant
• Foreign National

Other: This section must be completed if you selected “Other” as a status.

Provide the dates (From-To) to indicate how long you have had this status.

So my questions are:
1. In the dates from and to, will I use my original date 2016 of my old study permit to indicate how long I have had this status?
2. Will I have to upload my old study permit so that it reflect the 2016 date which i became a student or only my current valid study permit that shows my current status?

I'd appreciate any help asap @canuck_in_uk and others!

Am still confused how to fill my Employment section. I am still employed with McDonalds part-time but has not been working due to the current situation since March. I officially graduated on the 22nd May, degree granted 15May.

Will I fill my current activity/occupation as follows?:

Current Activity/Occupation: Student
FROM: 2016 08 (when my student status came into effect)
TO: 2020 04 (month when I received my completion letter)

OR

Current Activity/Occupation: Guest Experience Leader (Part time)
FROM: 2019 07
To: 2020 03 (last day working bearing in mind that I am still employed here or should it be left blank)

Thanks @canuck_in_uk or anyone else

As you weren't laid off, you list it as current employment.

 

[Longhair]

@canuck_in_uk And that would be to March 2020 correct or would I leave it blank?

You didn't stop being employed in March, so it's still current.

You didn't stop being employed in March, so it's still current.

Okay, thank you, that makes sense!

I will be eligible for graduation in fall 2020 and studied full time (passed 12 credits each semester) for the duration of my study in college.I had to take a leave in fall 2019 due to a family emergency and left Canada for a few months IN 2019 ,I actually left July 12th 2019 and returned December . But is enrolled for my spring 2020 courses in November 2019 and paid all related fees in full . I'm married and having my wife and son with me here as well ,
Would be necessary to state that summer is considered a scheduled break in our college (from April to September each year).
Would that leave for fall semester be considered a problem in process of my PGWP issuance ?

APPRECIATE IF YOU PLEASE CAN ADVISE @canuck_in_uk and others.

As you left during a regularly scheduled semester, it means you did not study full-time and yes, it could be an issue.

Thanks for your nice feedback , I left due to my dad's medical and health emergency . What documents should I present to have this justified ?

Everything that you can.

I completed my upfront medical last Friday. My information sheet dated in April because that is when I began the process. I want to make sure I am selecting the correct answer to this question below:

Have you had a medical exam performed by an IRCC authorized panel physician (doctor) within the last 12 months? I selected YES.

Please let me know if I selected the correct response. @canuck_in_uk et al Thanks
