***URGENT*** PERSONAL ACTIVITIES DEATIL

[allenlee]

HI ALL,

I just got the invitation to apply in EE.
It is asking me for Personal Activities detail in the past 10 years...

My question is How detail do I need to go into for this.

E.G I was in Canada for high school from 2007-2010.
During this time, I have left Canada for a few times to visit my family back home..

Do I need to break it down and list all the time periods OR 1 period indicating HIGHSCHOOL would be sufficient.

Thank you so much,

ALLEN :'( ??? ???

I was under the impression that these travels will be included in your travel history instead ? Maybe someone with more experience can chip in

Putting high school is enough, unless you actually interrupted your studies for a significant amount of time (beyond regular semester breaks). An example could be to go travelling for six months and to suspend your studies during this time.

Thank you. So for my university time period, I went back to home country for 4 months to see family and did abit intership (insignificant)..
Do I need to put that in?

thank youuuu

Internship is a different activity from studying, so yes - this should be included.

But if the internship is part of the study program (say a Co-op program), it does not need to be reported. is that correct ? Thanks

I cannot thank you enough.
You have been super helpful. ;D

You could probably justify that. Having said that, the purpose of the personal history is mainly to inform CIC about all organisations and employers you have been associated with. I would recommend to be thorough and include an internship even if it was part of an educational program.

Hi Dan,

I went to CUBA for a week (vacation ofc)... I would need to include that in my activity and the address right?

Please kindly correct me if I am wrong.

thanks.
