Hey guys,

I do NOT have any Canadian education. I apply CEC through 2 years work experience. My understanding is that I don't need to provide any degrees in my application. is it Correct?

However, I am thinking to provide my PhD degree and master degree because they are related to my Canadian job. Is this plan ok?

Thanks for all your advice, esp Jes-ON!

btw, I am in my home country, so hardly to find another CEC applicant. I did all this forms and application myself. I know it will be much better to have somebody go through my application. Do anybody know where to find such help online?

Thanks

another question, I don't have a fax at home. I could use my brother's company one. However, it won't be very secure sicne people might not know my name. Just wonder how much CIO will use FAX?

Thanks

Current instructions are unclear. I would include photocopies of your degree diplomas.

Thanks, Jes
I will include those documents


For Schedule A background IMM5669, question12, addresses,
Should I include the trips I took? For example, I did a 12 days road trips and stayed in a number of different hotels, should I include those? If so, I can't really list the accurate dates since it only with year and month.

or only my main residential addressess?

Thanks

the question is where you have lived, not where you have stayed. I am not sure whether this makes difference

Do you have to include the degree copies if education is not from Canada? the check list indicated that they have to be included only for Canadian education? Now..I am worried...I did not send the copies of my educational degrees ...hope they process my app..and ask for the degrees if needed.

ALL of your residential addresses. Any place where you established a residence. That could be temporary or permanent (they can be overlapping dates), but a brief stay at a hotel does not usually constitute a residence (tho for some people it might). For example, if a student leaves their parents' home to go to college, they might be considered a temporary resident at the college, but maintain their permanent residence at their parents' home. Staying with a friend for a couple of months could be a temporary residence. Rules would likely vary from country to country about what is a permanent residence or temporary, so please don't worry if this doesn't apply to you.

But if you ever received a piece of mail anywhere, you should probably include it :)

Do you think they will return the app(have there been any cases that you know of) if the educational degrees are not included ? Thanks for your inputs!

I don't know, I doubt it. I think if they want them, they will ask for them. I think the intent of the instructions are to cover education in Canada only, but unfortunately, the way they are written leaves room for doubt.
