[Ordinary]

While submitting post ITA application I came across following question

6(i) Has XYZ been member of an organization that is or was engaged in an activity that is part of a patem of criminal actvity?

Now, One of my USA employer was closed down by USA authorities for wrongdoing(Note: I have not claimed points for this employment). As I didnt know whether my employer charged for criminal activities or not I selected "NO" to above question and gave following explanation

"My ABC employer was closed down by US authorities. But I don't know whether
organization was closed down for criminal activities or something else. Hence/ I have selected "No" as an
answer for the question 6(i)(above mentioned question in bold)"

Am I in trouble here? What if my employer was involved in criminal activities?

Do you have any idea on why it was shut down? What was the organisation name?

That sounds like a reasonable selection and explanation. Also mention whether the employer was shut down while you were employed or after you left the employer AND clearly state that whatever the (unknown) reasons for the shutdown, you were never a part of any investigations for any of the functions you performed while with the employer. Does that make sense? A bit more explanation should clear things up. I wouldn't be too worried if I were you. Best wishes to you.

I wouldn't worry. They are referring to stuff like 'were you in the mafia?' 'Have you been part of a trades union that turned out to be run by hells angels for profit' .

Fill in the details just in case, if you are concerned but they probably won't be interested at all.

Yup, this is the credited response. If you're on the fence, feel free to add a bit more to your explanation like I suggested above.

This question usually refer to criminal/terrorist activity.

I dont think you need to worry about, but it is better to mention it.

I have submitted my application already on Nov 15. But during filling Schedule A today, above question crossed my mind.
