A few questions regarding Schedule A

[bananaoatmeal]

Guys, I have a few questions regarding Schedule A.

1. I'm 20 years old, so I'm supposed to provide my history from the age of 18. So, starting from when I was 18, I was still in High School. Should I put the first date (From) when I exactly turned 18, or when I started going to school? Same thing with addresses.

2. On top of the Schedule A Personal History, I typed that I'm unemployed, living in my country. Should I check "Ongoing"?

3. I'm assuming that I have to let them know every time I went to a different country as a visitor?

4. Is it ok to have the dates "overlap" a bit? For example: someone starts working in the middle of February, and in the middle of April becomes a student. So should it be:
Worker from 2017-02 to 2017-04 and then Student from 2017-04, or Worker from 2017-02 to 2017-03, and then Student from 2017-04?

5. We got out AOR1 a few days ago and we were able to link the application right away. However, we still have no request for Schedule A or a police certificate. Is that normal? Should we expect to get it soon and just wait?

Thank you for help.

I started on the 18th birthday (mm/yy)

yes if you are currently unemployed

3. I'm assuming that I have to let them know every time I went to a different country as a visitor?

yes

I had overlapping dates in my, though I dont think it matters as long as all the time is accounted for

it wont validate if there are overlapping dates -- also note that it will not validate if ongoing is checked -- you will need to enter current date m/yy and then add an explanation

Really? I just completed my Schedule A and I was able to validate it, even with overlapping dates and "ongoing" checked.

It didn't used to validate, perhaps you are using a newer version of the form that has been 'fixed'?
