Question 11: What to do if I run out of space?

[FilipinoBadger]

I am trying to be as descriptive and consistent with all my details for Q)11 however I have run out of space in the additional bars (+/-) that you can add or subtract from.

I am at 15/15 spaces but it wont let me add more and I have 1 more entry I need to write for a period of employment, what can I do to solve this? Can I print off another page with empty slots, will that be acceptable?

 

[FilipinoBadger]

Anybody, please?

Are sure you have 16 entries to make for the last 5 years? Just thought of highlighting that it is required only for 5 years.

I remember for PR there was a section where I had the same issue. I think it was listing all of the times I was outside of Canada, but I can't say for sure. Anyways, I just left the entire section blank and attached a separate sheet with a copy of the same table (but with more lines of course) and entered all of the details there.

Now in this case it says not to leave it blank, so I would just fill it up and then include a letter explaining that you couldn't fit the last entry and include the last entry in the letter.

Having said that, I am not an expert with this so maybe somebody else who has been through this could provide insight.

Yes I am certain. I have entries for periods of unemployment and/or travel.

MY elibility period is 2017-01-03 to 2022-01-02. In question 11 I have included every trip I made outside of Canada, corresponding with the dates in my Physical presence calculator I was outside of Canada, my entry at #15 is on 2017-07 to 2018-01 for going to school, but I also want to include my period of employment from 2017-01 to 2017-06.

Should I just print off another page with the entrie(s) I need?

Sorry, I am still confused. Wondering why you need to list your trips for question 11? You supposed to list what you were doing last 5 years. i.e. work/study/unemployed,etc. Sorry, I don't have answer to your original question. But I am just trying to understand whether you understood the question correctly as I felt that 16 entries for this question is bit more.

I am under the impression I have to include all my activity inside and outside of Canada, which includes trips made outside of the country that are already listed on the online presence calculator? Perhaps I am wrong and being redundant but I was under the impression that redundancy/consistency is the name of the game,

The game is actually only about accuracy and completeness, redundancy isn't needed, which is why you don't list your vacations and where you spent them in the work and address history questions.

List your unemployment, work and study there, but skip the holidays, they're covered elsewhere for a reason.

Question 10 is about residency history.

Question 11 is about employment/study status.

Neither of these questions require you to list your addresses or travel history on vacations--that is covered solely in the physical presence calculator.

Check the instruction guide, and I believe the form also includes an (i) next to each question that explains exactly what you have to answer:

It's not about redundancy, it's about efficiency and clarity of information. But yes, they still all have to be consistent.
