Hello!
So I am filling in the PR application, and there are 2 questions that I have:
1. In "personal history" page (as well as traveling info page) you're required to provide info on last 10 years. So now that it's September, should I fill in starting from Sept 2012, or January 2012?
2. This year my husband left a job on March 31, and then went to new job on April 24. Should I mention in the application that he was unemployed for 24 days? It will look like "april 2022-april 2022: unemployed", and it looks a bit silly to be honest, that's why I thought I should ask.
Also, I think I have missed a trip while filling in the application. Does that mean that I have to delete and start all over again or the chronological sequence is not important?
TIA!

Yes you should start again, every small info is important or it can create problem in the future. Keep everything straight, if you are unemployed mention same, if working mention that.

So basically you mean for those 24 days I should mention "unemployed"?
I don't have anything to hide. I just want to know whether chronological order is important. Its difficult to delete and re-fill each time you notice you missed something.
And what about 10 year question? Do you know anything for sure?

I know I literally took a day to fill it, it is complicated. Yes mention the same as I said if you are unemployed mention the same. Trust me this much effort is worth for getting a PR.

I believe the 10 year question and other that refers to timeframe is count from the day you fill and sign the application. So it's from Sept 2012.

IRCC have the option to request more information if they want. (e.g. some were requested to submit history dating back to when applicant turned 18. )

Hi I have a question in filling up personal history in my application of permanent residence.
I was self studying at home for 10 months for a medical college admission test after my high school graduation. How to fill this up? Will I select unemployed or educational activity? If I select educational activity then many question comes. I am confused about the answer to level of education. If I choose level of education the following options comes-
1. None or less than secondary(high school)
2. Secondary diploma (high school graduation)
3.One-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school or other institute
4. Two-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school or other institute
5. Bachelor's degree or three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school or other institute
6.Master's degree or professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession
7. Doctoral level university degree (PHD)

What should I choose? Should I choose none or less than secondary (high school) as I was self studying at home and was not admitted in any college or school? or Should I choose high school graduation as it was after my graduation from school? please help me out.
