Hi Folks,
I'm in the process of filling out an application to sponsor my husband for permanent residency. I have a couple of questions about the section where I have to provide my 5-year employment history on the IMM5532E - Relationship Information and Sponsorship Evaluation.
I have been a full-time student for two out of the last five years.
1. During the times I was studying, should I list myself as unemployed, or as a full-time student? Should I indicate that I supported myself with a student line of credit (during one year), and a study grant (during the second)?
2. During these times, I occasionally held part time jobs to supplement my income, but they were not enough to survive off of. When listing the dates of my employment history, should I list the full time that I was a full-time student, and list the bouts of employment as embedded within this time? This would not create gaps, but it would create overlap. I'm thinking it would look something like this:
2016-09 - 2017-08 Full Time student, supported self with study grant
2017-01 - 2017-04 University of Toronto, Teaching Assistant, $537/mos.
Alternately, should I list myself as a full-time student up until employment began, and again after it was completed, despite the fact that $537/mos is clearly not enough to live off of?
Thanks for your help!
