Hi,

Could you please Clarify for me personal history and work history?
I mentioned Employment years, Education years, and Unemployed years with no gap for personal history.
For the work history, I only mentioned my one-year fulltime permanent canadian job which I got score for that under NOC B, but I also got points for foreign job experience NOC B from backhome which is not related to my canadian job.
My question is; should I bring both jobs in a work history section then I have to upload documents for both jobs or only bring my canadian one and in the explanation letter, attach documents for foreign job and also my current job which is part time (NOC C).?
My second question is should answer NO to job offer if I had a permanent full time canadian job NOC B?
Thanks

Any information whether work or study that you did not claim points should fall under personal history.

@NOC98 I got ITA with cut-off 75. I have 3 years of the Canadian experience and 8 years of foreign experience. My query is, is that ok, if I just show my current(Canadian experience) in Work history + 3 years of experience which I have from India. Rest all move to Personal history(remaining 5 years)?

I don’t follow. If you’re claiming points for work from March 2018 to now, put that in work history, you’ll be asked to provide reference letters. Then the rest of work experience you’re not claiming points for should be added in personal history.

Then June 2019 on work history. April - May 2019 on personal history.

1. Do I need to mention all experiences in Work history or do i need to mention only for which am claiming points in work history ?
2. Do I need to mention all in personal history.? During vacation mentioned above I resigned my job and I went to India. Here if I select unemployed and for the next question where it took place...can I select India..? all my travel documents shows that am out of Canada.
3. How these work history gaps, and personal history gaps should be explained.?
4. Do I need to write LOE explaining all these..?

5. In the Travel history, do i need to mention only that I traveled to countries other than home countries and Canada? or everything?

1. Do I need to mention all experiences in Work history or do i need to mention only for which am claiming points in work history ? - only those you’re claiming points. The rest should be in personal history.
2. Do I need to mention all in personal history.? During vacation mentioned above I resigned my job and I went to India. Here if I select unemployed and for the next question where it took place...can I select India..? all my travel documents shows that am out of Canada. - if this is vacation while you’re still employed for company 2, state employed for the whole duration. Your travel history will cover your vacations outside Canada.
3. How these work history gaps, and personal history gaps should be explained.? - your personal history should have no gaps. So indicate unemployed where needed.
4. Do I need to write LOE explaining all these..? no.

5. In the Travel history, do i need to mention only that I traveled to countries other than home countries and Canada? or everything? - only for travels outside of Canada and home countries. Travels between Canada and home country need not be mentioned. I didn’t mention those either in my application and didn’t have any questions on this from IRCC.

Thank you NOC98. All my answers are in Red.
1. Do I need to mention all experiences in Work history or do i need to mention only for which am claiming points in work history ? - only those you’re claiming points. The rest should be in personal history.
Got it Thank you
2. Do I need to mention all in personal history.? During vacation mentioned above I resigned my job and I went to India. Here if I select unemployed and for the next question where it took place...can I select India..? all my travel documents shows that am out of Canada. - if this is vacation while you’re still employed for company 2, state employed for the whole duration. Your travel history will cover your vacations outside Canada.

On January 29 2019 I have to go to India for Vacation for about 40 days so I resigned to that position.(Company policy doesn't allow 40 days vacation). I got engaged during my Vacation and I have to go back for my marriage. so i took part time position sometime in march and April in the same company and same Position. I went for my marriage in April 2019 and I resigned for Part-time position. On May 1st 2019 came back after marriage and worked full-time for one year until July 28 2020. So here I cannot show whole duration as ROE is generated at each time I resign for my position. I had to stop working in July 2020 because of my work permit expired.

3. How these work history gaps, and personal history gaps should be explained.? - your personal history should have no gaps. So indicate unemployed where needed.
I can say unemployed but, during that period I was in India for Vacation and marriage. So can I say Unemployed and country of activity is India ..?

4. Do I need to write LOE explaining all these..? no.

5. In the Travel history, do i need to mention only that I traveled to countries other than home countries and Canada? or everything? - only for travels outside of Canada and home countries. Travels between Canada and home country need not be mentioned. I didn’t mention those either in my application and didn’t have any questions on this from IRCC.
Ok Thank you
