Temporary work permit - time before employment starts

[newvancouverite]

Hi all,

I moved to Canada in 2015 with a temporary work permit (employer-specific). I started my employment one week after moving and obtaining the permit. How should I declare that week in section 11? As 'Unemployed'? Should I add any detail?

Thanks.

Unemployed. But it still counts towards residency requirements - you were in status as soon as you've got your work permit.
