Hi, i am submitting my Express Entry FSW PR application soon.

On personal activities section, i have a few questions:
1.I have one paid internship as a requirement of my master's degree. Do i include it under "educational activity" or "employment" in the personal activities section?
I am not counting the internship to claim points - just wish to list it down in personal activities.

2. I have 2 unpaid internships during my bachelor's degree - NOT a requirement for the degree. Do i include it under "educational activity" or "employment" in the personal activities section? I am not counting the internship to claim points - just wish to list it down in personal activities.

3. Do i include certification courses in Personal activities. For example: Spanish Basic course (it does not contribute to my profile in any way)? How about 1-2 day workshops?

4. My Master's degree was based in 3 different cities in different countries (3 different semesters). Should i split them up in the personal activities section? If yes, on the question for "Result at the end of the study period" for the first 2 cities / semesters - should i indicate "In good standing but degree not completed" and only for the 3rd city/ semester, i should indicate "Completed degree"?

Thanks, all help will be much appreciated.

1. Educational
2. Not sure, but if not claiming points doesn’t matter whether it’s education or employment, you won’t be asked for letters anyway.
3. If it’s just a few days, like once a week, I don’t see any value add to be that specific?
4. Your degree would have been issued in the country where you enrolled, right? Plus it’s one degree not split up in 3 diff diplomas. IMO, record it as one and use the country stated in your diploma. You can record your travels in the travel history.
