Default Visits on Personal History in Schedule A Background Declaration?

Hello,

On the schedule A Background declarations, under the personal history, would you include visits/travels on that form? My wife visited me in Canada a few times for a month or two at a time when she wasn't otherwise employed. Should that be included on the form?

Let me know. Thanks!

What they want here is an uninterrupted timeline of what she has done employment / unempoyment / study wise (not every single trip they ever made overseas)..

So for example, if she was unemployed for 3 months, during which time she visited Canada, then she put a new line in for a 3 month period with Activity = Unemployed, Country = Canada, Status = Visitor. If unemployed for 3 months and visited several countries and Canada was amongst them, then Country = Travelling.

BUT if she simply went to say Spain (or even Canada) on a two week holiday while still employed (or studying etc.), then you do NOT enter this here, just show one line for the length of her employment

Make sure you keep a copy of this form (hopefully you have kept copies of any others you have filled out already) - often they ask for an updated version of this form later on (which usually means adding one line and putting the date, then signing) - but you have to fill the whole thing in again.... so having a copy of what you have already written is useful!

+1!

A very good point. It helps if you have a copy so you can honestly say exactly the same information again (unless of course something changed after the original form was sent). It would need explaining and cause delay if you suddenly remembered or added trips or answered something different from the original form that happened before you sent in the original form.

What about situations where she was between jobs and happened to have like, a two-week long visit out of the country? Would it be fine to just leave that as one solid "unemployed" block?

Oh my god, thank you for this information!

My wife did this, basically took a deliberate 2 week break when changing jobs for in effect an unemployed or unpaid holiday. I suppose you shoukd show it as a separate line, but as it was all in the same month, we left it out and joined the two jobs up so there was no gap, we just thought of it as an unpaid holiday!
