Hi, I'm filling out the forms for an inland spouse visa with OWP. My wife is a Canadian citizen and I'm English. I have some questions that I'd be very grateful for answers to. I've grouped them together, hopefully that's helpful and I've put this post is in the right place.

IMM 0008:
  1. Current/Intended Occupation. As I'm in Canada and prevented from working, I presume I answer 'Unemployed' and then 'Management Consultant' (my occupation before I left the UK, and what I expect to do again)?
IMM 5569:
  1. Serious physical or mental disorder. I have had cancer which I gather needs to be declared. How much detail am I expected to go into here? I'd like to preempt a request for more information if possible.
  2. What is the 'field of study' for secondary school (ages 11-15)? I took 12 GCSEs so this is confusing, is N/A fine?
  3. What is the 'field of study' for sixth form college (ages 16-18)? I took 3 A-levels, same question as above
  4. I traveled extensively in the 3 years pre-covid although probably not anywhere for more than 3 months, am I right in thinking these would be considered 'trips/vacation' and that listing my permanent residence for those periods would be fine?
  5. I was in and out of Canada/US a lot in those years, could that cause an issue? I never overstayed or was denied entry.
  6. Is 'current address' referring to where I literally am i.e. Canada or my permanent residence i.e. UK?

Thank you for any insight here. I've found this forum invaluable in getting as far as I have with these forms.

Yes.

1. I wouldn't consider that a disease or disorder in the context for here. You'll have a medical later, you can provide info on that then. (And no, I'm not certain, up to you, just seems different to me than what is intended)
2-3. We just put 'general high school' or something like that, phrase however you think appropriate.
4. Yes.
5. Shouldn't be an issue.
6. In this case because you're applying inland, yes, you reside in Canada.

Thanks for all your help @armoured , It's really appreciated. The whole thing's feeling a lot more manageable.

I have a few more question on the OWP parts but I've put in another thread to make it easier for others to find in future. It's here.
