Help with IMM 008 schedule 1

[RAJAM]

I have a question about schedule 1, I am almost done with my application.
Do I have to account for every month that is college vaccation or travelling to India for month or two.
Do I break up employment period with same employer into sub categories with change in title.
I had checked the sample IMM 008 schedule 1 at canada gov, site, it was pretty generic .
example

2007-02    2009 -05   research    company xxx
2000-07    2007 - 02  research    company yyy

Your help is appreciated.

No you dont have to break up in such detail. One line for a company would be enough. One-two months vacations can be ignored.

Thx fr yr reply.
it leads to a question.
The form says I have to account for all the periods.So I guess I have to mention college vaccation.
Example:

1998 july     -----  2000 may  Msc

1995 July  --------1998 may BSc

this leaves a gap of 2 months.

Hi Rajam:

You can count it as vacation.  It is fairly well understood and shouldn't be a problem.  If you can mention where you were it would be helpful, ex: "Vacation in London" or something to that effect.

Cheers,

When I did mine, I accounted for every month.  I would have wrote:

1998 july     -----  2000 may  Msc
1998 june -------- vacation
1995 July  --------1998 may BSc

They'd probably let it slide if you are missing a couple of months here and there but since they ask for every period, you can't go wrong with listing too much, even if they don't need it.
