What do they mean by government positions in personal history?
If working as a doctor in ministry of health considered government?
A government position is a position with a government (federal, provincial or municipal) or a position with a government entity. The government entity can be a wholly owned government subsidiary, or a partially owned government entity.
Some examples are:
Universities which are under the state government
Companies owned by the government
Agencies of the government, like the customs, tax department, legal affairs, etc.
Here, the government does not connote just federal, but any employment in which you worked for the government. Only independent contractors would be exempt from this. This is asked to ensure a thorough BGC.
