Hi Guys, I have couple question regarding personal activity please see below and provide any answer you can. Thanks

1. One of my Education degree and part time work experience overlaps with each other, for this place of study and place of work are in different city. Would this be okay as overlapping activities in Personal History.? Should this be require to provide LOE.?

2. I have Gap of 20 days between when I came to Canada first time and Started my study ( 16th Dec landing - 4th Jan first day of College) does this period has to be mentioned ? If yes under what activity, should it be unemployed.?

3. I did two co-op as part of my Canadian Education program, does this falls under education activity or employment.? If it's education activity does that has to be mentioned as new entry along with company details where I did my coop?

4. After my Canadian graduation I traveled back to my Home Country and lived there for 2 months before returning back to Canada and Started working, again does that 2 months falls under Unemployment .??


Any clarification will be helpful thanks.

I thought Coop is not employment and it's educational.

do I need to divide my education into piece as well.? or coop overlapping Cad education is fine.? I doubt me working 40 hours while studying full time is acceptable.

i think for your education you can just put 2/3 years of education as a whole . you don't have to describe what you did each month of your education . for eg. if you had a 2 year diploma like me you can just put educational 2012-2014 .? correct me if im wrong .

No.

Again, any overlap in the personal history section is perfectly normal and acceptable.
