Hi,

I have one question about the Personal History / Activity / Education section for my PR application after ITA.

I had one semester break in Fall 2021, which was an approved leave of absence from my university. Should I separate this period from my education history like this?

From: 2021/01
To: 2021/10
Activity: Education
Details: UCW MBA – online study from my home country

From: 2021/10
To: 2021/12
Activity: Other / Leave of Absence
Details: Fall 2021 approved leave of absence; no classes

From: 2021/12
To: 2022/01
Activity: Other / Transition
Details: Arrived in Canada; scheduled break before Winter 2022

From: 2022/01
To: 2022/07
Activity: Education
Details: UCW MBA – studies in Canada; completed on July 3, 2022

Or should I keep the education period continuous and only separate the location, like this?

2021/01 – 2021/12
Education – UCW MBA – online study from my home country

2022/01 – 2022/07
Education – UCW MBA – studies in Canada

I would appreciate your guidance on whether this gap/leave period should be listed separately or kept as one continuous education period.
