I'm hoping for one of the experienced member to help me out with this..

So my work history in my EE profile goes as follows:

Job A: Feb 2012- present (which I have the ref letter for in the CIC format)

now after ITA, my personal history is:

Job A: Feb 2012 - present (which I submitted the ref letter for in the CIC format)
Job B: December 2012 - present
Internship: Dec 2011 - Nov 2012
Mandatory military service: April 2013 - June 2014
University: Sep 2005 - July 2011
Period of unemployment: July 2011 - Nov 2011


No gaps there. But I was hoping for someone to confirm that I put it correctly, and also I think it might sound odd for a Canadian officer that I have two continuous full time jobs and a military service in between, but thats pretty normal in my country and all my colleagues are in the same situation, should I explain that in the LOE?
Is there any rule in the CIC against two full time jobs in the same period of time?

and many thanks!

Looks about right, did you travel in that time to any country? You have to put that in too.

Also, the history has to go back 10 years or until you were 18.

Just make sure you list any countries you visited. Canada can track your passport movements.

No my travel history is clear and fine, I have all my old passports to scan too if they wish.

My only worry is work/personal history issues, having 2 continuous full time jobs do I really need to explain that in the LOE or not..

Why not only mention the one where you have the reference letter and omit the other,better that way

No, after ITA there's a part where you have to fill your personal history, EVERYTHING you did last 10 years, and everywhere to traveled to. and honesty is your best bet to avoid any misrepresentation..

Would suggest to explain anything in your application that you feel will create doubts in the mind of the case officer.
