Dear all,
Lately, i got invitation form express entry. However I have a question when I fill out the question part in the system.
My work visa was from may 2013 to may 2016 and started my full time job that I used later for immigration later in Jan 2014. In 2013 Dec, I started to take a online course with CGA, and finished the course in Mar 2014. Since CGA is a continuous professional study that would take me about 2-3 years to finish so I applied a study permit at that time stating that I was full-time working and wanted to apply a study permit for CGA study. Later I did get a study permit from government from feb 2014 to july 2016. After finishing that CGA course in Mar 2014, I haven't took any CGA course later but I was still a CGA member until may 2016.
In Sep 2015, I used my study permit to full-time study in a college while full time working since I have a full time work permit and study at the same time and I got points at express entry but they only gave me points for 2 educations and 1 year experience.
My question is that should I include the CGA experience in my express entry? If yes, should I put it in just personal activity or both personal activity and education? And should I put it in letter of explanation to explain this whole thing or I dont really have to?
Thank you so much
