Question 6F is for "Work and Education History". Question is (a) Have you worked in last 4 years? (b) Have you attended an educational institution in last 4 years?

Should COOP & the 8 week Volunteering done as part of COOP - be included under the question 6F? Is COOP done with NCP (Newcomer Centre of Peel) considered an education institution? Is volunteering considered work?

I know English language training (LINC) should NOT be included under 6F, but how about COOP & 8 week volunteering?

Appreciate the advise. Thank you.

Who told you that you can't include LINC english course in work/education 6F. Many people here wrote LINC english course and their applications are in Process now?

Instruction Guide - "Note: If you do not have acceptable language proof to submit with your application or do not have the required language level, you may choose to take an acceptable third-party test by enrolling in a government-funded language program that would provide acceptable certification. Certificates from these government funded language training programs cannot be used as proof of education for your citizenship application (see Section 4 Education Records)"

Pls note 6F is "Work and Education History" Question; and not a "Language proof" question. You can include LINC as "Language Proof".

I know they mention you cannot use LINC certificate as a proof of education but you can can write it in education

read this from guide
The education records must cover each calendar year, if applicable. It is sufficient to submit one official education document per calendar year of schooling during the relevant four (4) year period. Note: You are not required to submit proof of attendance at English/French as a second language training programs.

so this means if you write LINC course in education section they do not need attendance sheet and this is not only for LINC but for any other English/French programs as a second language training like ESL

I am telling you this because I asked many experts a bout specific period of my time. I was unemployed for specific time but I was taking LINC english course and I asked if I can write LINC english course instant of unemployed and they said its ok.

there is 'no harm' in adding the LINC information but you do not have to because its not considered as 1) Work or 2) Education Institution. So basically you are telling CIC that you were 'doing something' and thats okay... I do not know how much of hours people spend in school attending LINC.

you are right. in my opinion it does not matter how many hours did you spend per week for the course or if its part time or full time ( even if you spend minimum hours for this course it indicate that you are in Canada not anywhere else )
