Hi,

I worked full time during the summer and winter break, and less than 20 hours during the semesters.
When writing IMM 5710 employment history, do I have to prove that I worked less than 20 hours?
I'm thinking to put my full time and part-time (both at the same company) separately to distinguish them,
Will they be suspicious If I wrote part-time work history during the semester? Do I have to attach T4 slip or something?

how do they know if I worked under 20 hours?

Would it be a better idea if I just leave the employment history empty, since the IRCC guideline says it's not required field for PGWP?
Does this history have to be no gap in-between?
Can I only write three jobs since there are only 3 spaces?
I'm confused. I'd appreciate some help, please.

Also, after creating the account at IRCC website and create a profile, how long does it give you to upload all the docs?

Enter the jobs honestly, you dont have to prove anything. Gaps dont matter. Doesnt the form say last 10 years? If you didn't work illegally you will have no problems there.

You get about 1 month to upload documents after you create a new application, creating just a profile does nothing.

Thanks please answer this one more question. I'd appreciate your time!
When I applied for my study permit, I didn't put all the jobs that I had in 10 years, because I thought I could only write 3 jobs.
Do you think that I should be consistent with the info I provided back then, or would it be better if I lay them all out honestly?

Difficult to say, I think if you dont plan on using any of those missing jobs to get any immigration points in the future you could just be consistent.

There is 3 years of gaps in-between my employment if I chose to be consistent with my previous visa application.
I'm debating If I should add one more job there to reduce the gap to 2 years.
Do you think that is worth it to write one more job there that will end up being inconsistent from my previous application,
or just omit it and have 3 years gap?
I'm not planning to claim that job exp point in the future as it was in a different industry.

Gaps don't in employment dont matter, I think you need to fill in what you were doing in those gaps in the form, so if you were studying you put student etc there is a guide from them somewhere on what to put but something common sense will be fine too.
