Ahhh... You're right. There's a small gap which I didn't notice. At first I was blaming wrongly working validation because today CIC website is super unstable as I had to relogin like 50 times already..

Hi Kasinow, did you solve your problem regarding this? I'm getting the exact error sign but my time gap is complete with no missing dates. Huge thanks from a first time poster!

Does the personal history section have to show the dates and places of travel and employment even if these were covered in their respective sections?

Hi everyone, Im trying to fill out the personal history section. I have traveled quite a bit in the last 4 years about which I have clearly mentioned in the 'travel' section. However, I was wondering when I am filling the personal section, do I need to put those details in again? For instance, from 2008-2012 I was in undergrad but I travelled for a month in 2012 which i've stated in the travel section, but do I need to state it again in personal? Or can I just leave it at details of Undergrad?

I got my ITA. :)
But there is a little issue. :(
So my NOC is 2171, but in my EE profile, I had listed my job tenure with only my current designation. But actually, I have worked on two different designations in the same firm. both correspond to the NOC 2171 only. One is analyst(2014-16) and the other is consultant(2016-present). In EE profile, I only mentioned consultant with tenure (2014-17) because it was under the same employer.

I can't change it because I've accepted my ITA already. :(
Is it such a big deal?

I also have the same issue, I have only put my current employer in my EE profile as only this will get me points. I have work experience before this but I don't have most of the documentation and also I haven't claimed any points for them.
So if I mention my previous employment history will they ask me documentation even if I am not claiming any points for those.

Hi, you can just go ahead and mention it as undergrad in the other section.
But if you weren’t doing anything during a certain period, for ex after I finished my bachelors degree in 2012, I was only traveling from December 2012-March 2013, in that case I mentioned traveling. Hope this clarifies. Good luck

Does "Start with the most recent information" look like:

A.
2018
2017
2016

or

B.
2016
2017
2018

Just want to make sure because when you add in a row, the next row sits on top of the first row and not under it.
Sorry if it is a dumb question :(

You must add it as per your most recent activity first, 2018 followed by the rest. It arranges by itself, u needn’t worry about that.
I think it should look like 2018 first

Hi All,

I have dropped an year after my school and before joining my engineering college. I am not sure what to select
in the "Activity Type" .
Currently Activity type have the options : Educational / Employment / Govt. / Military / Org. / Incarcerated / Unemployed / Homemaker / Retired

Query 1: If i have to choose "unemployement", what should I fill "Please describe what this person was doing during this period"
and for "Please provide the name of the company, employer, school, or facility as appropriate"

Query 2: Will selecting Unemployment affect my PR in any case ?

Query 3: Unemployment for that period doesnt make sense and i was 17 and just finished school.

Query 4: There was a gap between completion of my masters and joining of my job ( 1.5 months approx) ? what activity to select for this ?

////

Address information of last 10 years question: I am currently living in the address where I have stayed 4 years back.
It is my permanent address.

Query5 : But while filing the 2014 data, when I select "Yes" for "Is this you current address", the end date gets removed
What to do, If I select "No", wont that be a wrong as that address in 2014 is my current address

1- if you weren't studying or working, it's unemployed and you can put N/A
2- no, people are unemployed all the time throughout their lives, that's not what they care to know
3- no need to list things before you were 18, it's made clear in that section's description
4- unemplyed
5- i'dd add it a second time, address 1 start -end, address 2 where you lived in between, address 3 (1 again) "start-present

Thanks,
1. Actually I have entered my school information, so if I leave that information, as I was not 18, I was giving a "gap", which they have specifically advised against.

2. So basically for the address1, i have to select "No" for the question "Is this your current address" , then only it will ask me the end date. But the point is, it is the same address i am living currently
