Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum so pardon me if i ask silly questions.
I am applying under Canadian experience class express entry. I have few questions regarding personal history forms.
1)i studies in canada for two years, but every semester, i worked at different places and i also had co op done. do i need to enter each and every month detail or should i just write overall two years of study in the time frame of 10 years?

2) do i also have to write part time work done during and after education? I had one full time job and one part time job after i finished my education in canada.

3) i went for one month vacation while working in canada? Do i have to mention that in past 10 years history form?

4) since I am applying under canadian experience class, i believe i do not have to show proof of funds for me and my husband? is that true?

please help me through this questions and i will really appreciate it. thanks a bunch.

thank you for the reply.

But your answer to first and second question contradicts.
If i Put overall study of two years, I don't have to show co op work or part time work during my studies. or I have to put all these.

Please guide accordingly.

Thanks

The co-op placements were part of your study, you do not need to list those separately. But if you had a paid part-time job while studying, yes, you should list that.

It is OK to have overlapping dates, just do not leave any gaps in your history.

Correct, no work experience gained while on a study permit will count (for both principal applicant and spouse). But it still has to be listed on the Personal History.

Hello Everyone,

I just got my ITA. I need some help regarding address history and personal history:
1. During my studies I stayed at a hostel for only 3 months but now I can't remember its name or house no. I have tried google maps but it doesn't show building name or no. there as well. In such a case what should I mention my address as. Right now I have written the best address I could by stating the nearest building and behind which building it is. Will this work???
2. During my studies for summer holidays I always visited my home for 1-1.5 months every summer and for roughly 15 days in winter. Do I also need to mention that in my personal history or I should just mention 4 years of study??
3. Finally, The there are times like after I finished my studies and before I got a job where I was just searching for a job living with friends for 20-25 days during that time what should I enter as my Address and in my Personal history for that time??

Thanks, Please reply at the earliest.

Do we need to tell about our work during studies or not? OMG_Chakromakro says we don't and jes_ON says we do and I see this divergence all the time on the internet. Is it ok to overlap dates then? Or is it better to just fill like studies the time we were studying under a student visa, including coop?


Thanks in advance

Do we have to include paid coop in personal details or just need to mention 2 years of study as educational activity only?
