Hi everyone! I would like to ask for your help. Cic sent me an email today regarding on detail activies during the period of unemployement from july 2007 to july 2012. But i am confused on this because i was employed from 2010 to 2012, so what will i put during that time and what form will i use to fill up the their request? Also, does the request includes my depedents?
Thank you in advance!
1. As what cebugirl mentioned - look back into your schedule/background information and see what was previously written there. See your history and timelines. Don't panic, important thing is to identify what triggered this question - so you have to look back at the forms and see if there are timelines in all of your forms that overlap, or have a gap or some question answered in another form, or information in a supporting document did not tally into answers in some of the forms. Ask yourself:
- where is it specified in the forms or in the documents that you were unemployed from 7/2007 - 7/2012 (5 years)
- where is it specified in the forms or in the documents that you were employed from 2010 - 2012
Finding the background/reasons why the question was asked will lead you to how to answer it and plug holes/gaps. It may also lead you to identify additional inconsistencies.
2. There is no specific form required to answer back to CEM. Usually, if there is a prescribed format, they specify it in the instructions. I would advise however, to steer away from filling up a new form and submitting it, without being specifically asked or instructed, simply as you have signed the previous forms and by doing so, have attested the information in the forms. My view is if you resubmit a new form, you may invite more scrutiny in the details in the forms as there will be some questions on why a form is resubmitted. Plus the new data may lead to more questions. You want to lessen the scrutiny and the questions as much as possible.
Alternatively what you can do is copy the table format in the schedule/background information form (IMM 5669) and then use that table format to further describe and itemize the activities from 2007-2012. No more and no less. Now having said that - you mentioned you were employed from 2010-2012, so proof may be required for this. If you have CoEs from employers that covers that periods, or any tangible proof of employment you previously submitted, add in copies to reiterate this point.
3. If not specifically stated - then it does not include your dependents. The letter of instructions will specify for which applicant/dependent, the information is needed.
