Hello dear fellow members,
I did a 1.5 month internship at a govt organization right after graduation. What is your opinion if this would be considered as a position held in a govt organization? Should I reply yes to the question asked in Schedule A form?

List any government positions (such a civil servant, judge, police officer, employee in a security organization) you have held. Include positions held before or after your retirement

The Rule is " Any paid job you have worked is entitled to be mentioned as Job. required that job accounts for been Full Time and had Job Responsibilities that matches your Chosen NOC and of course should be a Paid JOB Not Voluntary"

But just out of curiosity why you wanna show 1.5 Months of Jobs Placements? be safe this would only increase your Paper Work...

Thankyou for your response. Could you point me to the source where you got this 'rule'. I would be grateful.

This job is way back in the past (more than 10 years) and doesn't need to be mentioned on the work history / personal history. However if I am a asked a statutory question if I have ever worked in a government organization or not? I am trying to think what my answer should be.

Like another forum member mentioned that I should say yes to be on the safe side, but I am wondering if that may increase the application processing time for me. And thus I am trying to avoid it if I can.
