Pre-Assessed..
In the residence section.. dont remember exact month from 1990s when we started living in our current home. Schedule A doesnt let me proceed. Can't leave the FROM month empty, cant put XX, cant put *. Dont want to put an arbitrary month and run into trouble with CIC.

Any guidance?

I found this on CIC's Help Centre (FAQ):

"There are three history fields on the form:
•work history
•address history
•education history

Each has a “to” section. This is where you put when you finished that activity or moved from that address. If you are still working or studying, or if you still live at that address, write “today” or the date you are signing the application. If you do not know the exact dates, use your best guess."

I couldn't remember all the exact dates either. But I found this and did what they said, used my best guess.
 
Another related question, In the employment history..

If I have been doing two things simultaneously with overlaping dates... Shall I write them in a single field.
If i separate them.. this form doesnt get the dates.

For example
activity 1 started January 2005 to 2010
Activity 2 started January 2006 to 2010

If i use the same single field for the above two, which starting point do I choose? Activity1's or Activity 2's?

My husband had the same thing... he traveled quite a bit during some periods and schedule A did NOT like the overlap. What i did was enter the main activity and then i submitted a case specific inquiry and uploaded an explanation on word with the dates and explained that the form would not validate with this information on there.... as i wanted to make sure they have all of the details.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying. But I "think" you should choose Activity 1 as it covers a greater period of time. But even if you used Activity 2, it still goes back 10 years. I wouldn't think it would matter much at the end of the day since they recommend using your best guess for dates that you cannot recall.

What I'm saying is.. I did two employment activities with overlaping dates. Putting them into Schedule A's format is quite confusing.. as dates cant overlap on the form.
 
Also,

In the application Number we used the number mentioned in Applicant's AOR letter. Do we also include the UCI? Applicant did not receive any UCI. Sponsor got a UCI in in the AOR email from CIC along with the same applicant number that the applicant received.

Do we leave UCI blank and only put the application number? since this form is solely about the applicant and not the sponsor.

I had overlapping dates. It accepted one and didn't accept one. They really need to work out all the quirks with that form. You literally have to put in false information in order for the form to validate, which defeats the purpose of the form.

On the UCI number, I'd leave it blank if you don't have the PA's UCI. I actually mailed in an unvalidated form (because of the date overlap) with my application in January because I already had my PCC so I sent it all in and figured they'd request a new one if it wasn't good enough. Since I sent it with my app, I didn't put in an application number or UCI. They never requested a new Schedule A and my file has been transferred to my VO. They actually requested more detailed military info, in which they got the original info from my Schedule A. So unvalidated, no app #, and no UCI worked for me apparently.
 
Here's a very simple solution:

Simply attach a sheet of paper explaining your answer(s). ;)

Be sure to write the pertinent information across the top of the extra page, such as:
Name of applicant
Name of sponsor (and UCI, if available)
IMM form and question(s) that this addendum page applies to

How do we add it to the form if its digitally signed and uploaded via MyCic. One option is to attach the explanatory extra sheet as a case specific inquiry right after submitting the form.

Export your explaination to pdf, and merge? A quick google search on "online pdf merge" should net results that will help.

If you're worried about the barcode pages changing, print the pages, then scan the whole kit into one.
