1. #5 - Education History
   
   1.) Provide the number of years - Are we going according to the Canadian Standard or the Pakistani Standard? For example, Elementary/Primary School here in Canada is till grade 8, so will that be 8 years plus any PreK years or from grade 1 to 8? In Pakistan, it's different. Same thing for Secondary/High school - Canada's standard is from grade 9 to 12, but in Pakistan, it's 9-10 and then college is grade 11-12. University is 4 years in Canada but in Pakistan, it's 2 years plus any further professional degree (that's 2 years on top of that). Then Trade/Post Secondary would be Masters (that I understand on how many years to include - 2 years).
   
   2.) Field of Study - Need to write what the master's/bachelor's major was? Correct?
   
   #6 - Personal History:
   
   1.) Is this work related ONLY or includes what the applicant was doing in the last 10 years or since the age of 18? If it's since the age of 18 or the last 10 yrs, then will education be part of this OR just work related information?

1. It doesn't matter which standard you use.

2. Yes.

1. As stated on the form: Provide the details of your personal history since the age of 18, or the past 10 years, whichever is most recent. Start with the most recent information. Under "Activity", write your occupation or job title if you were working. If you were not working, provide information on what you were doing (for example: unemployed, studying, travelling, retired, in detention, etc.). If you were outside your country of nationality, indicate your status in that country.
