Question for SCHEDULE A/ BACKGROUND DECLARATION [IMM 5669 (12-2012) E]

[CS2012]

Hi,
I have quick question for SCHEDULE A/ BACKGROUND DECLARATION [IMM 5669 (12-2012) E]
7. Education
Give full details of all the secondary and post Secondary education (including university, college and apprenticeship training) you have had.

Should we start from class X Exam for Secondary and then HSc for 10+2 onwards?
What should we write from (Y & M) and To (Y &M) for secondary(10 th one)? Say if my 10th secondary is in 1990 Mar, should I write from 1989 Jan to 1990 Mar?
Thanks in adavce!

Yes. You should give details starting 10 + 2 + 3 and so on.
Go by the academic year. 1989 Mar to 1990 Mar.

Shall we start our education from Grade 1? ie, if you studied 2 or 3 years before Grade 1, that is not counted??

Does secondary education starts from Grade 1 or Grade 5?

 

[sara007]

I am not sure why i have confusion in this:


Schedule A, Education section:
Give no of years of school you successfully completed in each level of education:

Elementary/primary school: is this education before Grade 1 ?

Secondary school/high school: this is Grade 1 to Grade 12, i believe..

University/College: this is graduation

 

[Andy2109]

It varies from place to place. Refer > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Canada

 

[sara007]

Hence, it should be 8 + 4 + 4
(according Canadian system of education)
isin't?

Elementary education
Grade 1 (ages 6–7)
Grade 2 (ages 7–8)
Grade 3 (ages 8–9)
Grade 4 (ages 9–10)
Grade 5 (ages 10–11)
Grade 6 (ages 11–12)
Grade 7 (ages 12–13)
Grade 8 (ages 13–14)

Secondary education
Grade 9 (ages 14–15)
Grade 10 (ages 15–16)
Grade 11 (ages 16–17)
Grade 12 (ages 17–18)

I would also like to know this. Is elementary school grades 1-8? Where I'm from, elementary is 1st to 6th grade, and high school 7th to 12th

Hi,
I am also confused. Recently I have submitted my application in which I filled from HSc. Is it affects my application?

 

[sara007]

Can anyone help in clarifying this for me..

 

[Andy2109]

Folks,

There is no instance of rejection on the grounds of wrongfully classifying Elementary and Secondary education. The classification varies from place to place. I know of many applicants who have done it differently but still without any hiccups in the process, successfully got a PR.

Ones who have already submitted their application > stop worrying.
Ones who are in the process of submitting application > simply follow the education system prevalent in your country and map it to the education system in Canada - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Canada

Elementary Education - Grade 1 to 8
Secondary Education - Grade 9 to 12
University - Graduation onwards

 

[sara007]

Thanks Andy2109 for clarifying...

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your clarification.
I hope, i will not have any problem for this issue.

Yes. You should give details starting 10 + 2 + 3 and so on.
Go by the academic year. 1989 Mar to 1990 Mar.

what do you mean by 10 + 2 + 3???

 

[Andy2109]

Education system in India
Grade 1 to 10 (10 years)
Grade 11 & 12 (2 years)
Graduation (3 years)

Andy,

In Korea, the education system is:
grade 1-6 (elementary)
grade 7-9 (junior high)
grade 10-12 (senior high)

in schedule A #7 education section, you've adviced to write every single years in junior to senior high shool year. In my case, for the secondary edcation, can I just state the starting year and month of junior and senior. For example, if my junior high was 2000 Jan - 2002 Jan in total of 3 years, should I still state:
2000 Jan - 2001 Feb grade 7
2001 Feb - 2002 Feb grade 8
... and so forth.

I think it's fine to write 2000 Jan - 2002 Jan, then same thing for senior high.
What's your opinion?
