People, your views please..
1. Prab(my huby) has his Bachelors in Architecture and the next degree is PG Diploma in Hospitality Management and the next one is MS in Hospitality Management. The reason for this change was, He intended to do an MBA course in UK first only to find out getting an Architect License in UK to practice was next to impossible, and so he switched his focus to Hospitality Management. We even managed to get a work permit processed in UK for 5 years with that Masters degree. Would this focus shift from Architecture to Hospitality cause a concern for the VO?
2. Next as i mentioned earlier, we were able to secure a 5 yrs work Visa in UK and we had to come back to India to get the resident visa stamped. [Note: Work permit and resident permit are 2 different things for Home office in UK]. Unfortunately we were not able to return to UK to take up the job immediately after the Visa stamping due to personal reasons. When we contacted the employer again in 1.5 months time, they said they will not be able to hold the job for him for many months(which was reasonable as we got the offer in end of March and it took about 3.5 months to process the work permit and get the visa stamped). Long story short, we did not get the 5 year work visa activated at all and it expired last month Sad. Would this cause a concern for the VO? I mean if we did get an opportunity to work for 5 yrs in a country like UK, and did not use it, would the VO be reluctant/ give it a second thought to give us the PR status for Canada?
3. When providing personal history on the schedule 1 form, how exact do we have to provide the timeliness? I mean if Prab was a Student in UK for 5 years, he attended 3 courses and completed 2 of them. He took breaks in between the courses(between course 1 and 2 and course 2 and 3), like Vacation to Germany and India. Should i just mention 1 line from 2000 to 2005 his activity was Student and finish it or give a detailed breakup of actual attendance in colleges, vacations, etc..
Thanks,
Indira Prabhakaran.
