Yes, be truthful in your application. An internship is not a bad thing. As long as you have the contact details of the company you worked for, mention it. Don't skip any dates.

Question about Q11, if I had multiple sources of income during same timeline do I need to list both or just one will suffice?
For example from Jan 2016 to July 2016 i was employed and also doing my side bushiness (self-employed) . So I just filled out I was employed from Jan 2016 to July 2016 and didn't mention anything about my side business as I thought all CIC care about is the missing periods or gaps , but just want to confirm that my understanding is correct before I send out my application.

You are supposed to list everything. Yes, you shouldn't leave gaps but if things overlap they should still both be mentioned, e.g. if you worked while studying etc.

On the other hand, I'm not sure how they could notice that you missed something, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

05-02-2015 Finally
Where I was residing question. It asks for addresses within the eligibility period. Most of it was spent in Canada as a visitor in Canada but since i didn't have residency, my legal address was in the States, do I put both ( the house where I lived in the States and where I was staying in Canada) or just my legal address. I'm probably overthinking things but I don't want to leave things out or misrepresent myself as I want to count the days I spent in Canada as a 'visitor' but as a 'visitor' I know I didn't have the right to reside here and don't want to claim it as that. Plus if I list both, the dates overlap. For example, my legal residence from 2011- early 2015 ( the year I landed) was in the US. However, I spent most of the time from 2012 until then in Canada. Do I need to put a note in or just list the dates with an overlap. I would hope as humans they would see that as where I was when visiting vs. legal residence. Sorry if this sounds really stupid.

Hey guys,

Is getting AOR means application is complete and good to go? Or could It still be returned?

Thx :)
It means is has been checked for completeness on the basic level (e.g. that you filled in all parts of the form, signed it and submitted all necessary documents). It does NOT mean that your application will be approved in the end. For example, no one checked so far that your claimed physical presence in Canada is plausible.

No, you do not have to mention your vacation address. Just your CANADIAN home address. Same thing for your visit to India. Unless you were staying out of Canada indefinitely, you don't have to mention any other addresses.
