Hi everyone, I'm filling my PR application and I have a question about Personal History. I took a summer semester off between my full-time study period and visit my hometown for 2 months. Summer semester is not mandatory do I need to mention it in personal history? Should I list: "Jan 2016 - Sep 2018: Education Activity" and another overlapping row that say: "May 2017-Jul 2017: Unemployed" (and note as travel)? Or should I split my study period so it becomes:
"Jan 2016-Apr 2017: Studying
May 2017-Jul 2017: Unemployed (semester break, travelling)
Aug 2017-Sep 2018: Studying"
My main activity is still education so I don't know if putting unemployment in between is a good idea or not. Waiting for your opinion. Thank u.
