Spouse's work history

[CMcM]

Just a quick clarification - if my spouse's work history doesn't give us any points for our PR application, and we don't want to go through the hassle of getting documentation to prove it (because he still works there), should I NOT put it in the "work history" section of the application, and include it only in the "personal history" section?

This has been my understanding for my own work history - i.e. I am only including the jobs that I plan on submitting documentation for because they add to my score. It just feels a bit weird to select "no" for "Does [spouse] have any work history?"

When not claiming points, you don't have to mention it. Personal History will inform CIC of her jobs and they will know that you are not claiming any points for her work history. You might write couple of lines in LOE that you mentioned "no work history" as you are not claiming any points for her work.

Good luck !
