Response: The assessment of an application is based on a case-by-case basis, considering the particular circumstances in conjunction with the supporting documentation available to the officer. Please refer to the instruction Guide 5269 for the information you need to know, such as, which forms to fill out and submit with the application. For additional information: Studying in Canada as a minor - Canada.ca We hope this information is helpful. Regards, [requester] De: Envoye: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[IRCC Immigration Representatives mailbox]> Objet: [requester] Good day, I would like to kindly follow up on your reply. | believe the matter is more complicated than that. Firstly, the IMM1294 form does not allow to put ‘not applicable’ as the only information in the employment section. Validation of the form appears to suggest that there is some minimal expectation for the content. See the screenshots below. Secondly, the guide for the form clearly informs that information beyond ‘jobs' is expected both for the current situation and the past 10 years. In no place it says that minors are excluded from completing the content. 1) If that is the case and minors must complete the section with their education or other activities, how far are they expected to go, kindergarten, Grade 1, or other? 2) What are the instructions for IRCC Officers reviewing the forms in the case of minors?
