Hi All,

Background: I have worked in Canada for 2 years (total 6 years of IT experience), then left my job, came back to India. While applying for Work Permit, I have seen the following question: "Did you serve in any military or security organization or Police force?"
Well, after coming back to India I have served in a security / Police force, and have resigned from there now, and planning to go back to Canada with PR.

Question 1: Do I have to show my police work experience in my EE profile? It is not of relevant NOC work experience as my IT job. Is it mandatory to declare this?

Question 2: If I declare the same, do I need to submit extra documents like NOC (No Objection Certificate) etc. issued by Indian Government?

Question 3: "Did you serve in any military or security organization or Police force?" - I will be answering 'Yes' to this question in my eAPR (if it is there). Do I have to fill any extra forms / information regarding this during eAPR process?

Question 4: Why is the above question asked by CIC anyway? Do they consider these people (police etc.) in a negative light while deciding to grant PR? Will this play a role during PR process?

I fulfill all other criterion, like language, work experience, education etc.

Thanks!

Yes, you absolutely must declare this, as it's a specific question. It's for security and background checks.

Thanks! I will. But should I do it in EE profile or during eAPR?
I'm not planning to earn any points as its not relevant to my IT experience (6 years already), and NOC is different.

You'll still have to declare it in the background checks form in your timeline for the PR application. It's not needed to be in the EE profile as that is just for the CRS points calculation, as far as I am aware.
