Hi Guys,
I am new at this process and i had a couple of questions when it comes to the forms-
1- In the IM5569E ( background ) its asking for personal history - in which how do i represent current job ? what end date do i put ? example- 2013-01 to present date ?
2- same issue in the IM008 schedule 3 form - its asking for current occupation ... what end date do i have to put in or can i write present ?
Please let me know thanks,
FK
A lot of people use the word 'present' in the form. I find it a little odd but that seemed to have worked if you check the historical posts in the FSW 2014 timeline. If it were me, and I have done it the following way, I would first look into the ref. letter that the employer has provided for the current job. If the letter states "Mr. Faraz is
currently employed in ABC Corp. since ... " then the VO would know that the job is ongoing. Also the latest payslips would vouch for that. I would still mention "currently employed" in the description field in the background form and not the date field.
If I follow the above procedure, I would use the date of 'filing the app.' as the TO date. This is because if you look at both the forms, CIC has provided fields to enter numbers but not text, so i tend to believe that's what they expect the applicant to fill in.
Rest is your judgement call.
