Hi All,
I held H-1B visa in US between 2015 to 2018. However its duration was further split between two different employers. So to answer Question 13, should I include it under one single entry (2015 to 2018) or list them separately (2015 to 2017 as one entry followed by 2017 to 2018 as a separate entry)?

Thanks for your responses!

Reference:
Question 13.
Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)
  • Check either yes or no.
  • If you check yes, complete the chart.
  • Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
  • Date you obtained each status(YYYY-MM-DD)
  • End date if no longer valid, if applicable (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave blank if you currently hold this status

The context here, I think, is not to capture your employer details but about your visa/status. i.e. one entry.

Thanks for responding! I was also leaning towards the same response but didn't wan't to take a chance.

Agree. Maybe you could add another entry with dates per 797 receipt when you changed the employer.

I could add another entry but ideally one single Employment status should cover dates for both my work visas as there were no gaps in between. I'm leaning towards your initial response which was to include it under one entry rather than separate ones.

Hey.. any update on the application based on what you entered? I have a follow-up question. Did you enter the actual dates you stayed in USA on work visa, or the duration of the visa status? In my case, I got my visa stamped on Oct 2006 but moved to USA on Oct 2007. Let me know if possible. Thanks in advance!
