Hello all,

I have few queries on IMM 0008 and any input regarding that is much appreciated.

Question 10 : Current country of residence: From and To dates
I'm currently residing in Canada as "Worker" using my post graduate work permit but came here as a student 5 years back
Should I fill in the "from date" with the date I entered Canada the very first time for my studies and fill "to date" with the expiration date of my Post Graduate Work Permit? (The form doesn't take the today's date in the "to date" field and throws an error stating that "to date" should be greater than today.

Question 4: Immigration office requested for processing this application:
I answered this as "Case Processing Pilot- Ottawa". Is this correct?

Thanks pmpm! I have a question for you. This is regarding the personal history .. Let's say I took a break from school 2010 summer and during the break I was doing a part time job. Does it make sense write it out like this:

From To Activity Status in Country

2010 - 05 2010 - 08 Summer break from school worker(off campus work permit)

I'm confused about the status in country when you are on a break .. Student or worker?

Agreed
You said you did part time work, so write what work you did: employment designation.
