Interviewer instructions
19. Mark "Yes" if you have attended at any time since last September:

1. an elementary school (public or private);
2. a secondary school (high school, collegiate institute, technical high school, vocational
high school or junior high school);
3. a university (including colleges which offer courses leading to a degree);
4. other institutions such as seminaries or schools for the blind or deaf which provide an
equivalent type of general education leading to an elementary or high school diploma;
5. a technical institute;
6. a teachers' college, community college, or nursing school not affiliated with a
university;
7. a private business college; or
8. a private or provincial trade or vocational school.

A person should be considered as attending full-time if he is taking 75% or more of the normal course load in the grade or year in which he is registered.
Part-time courses should include only organized instructional classes aimed at expanding knowledge or skills. Exclude activities which have no educational aim or which are not planned in systematic sequence (e.g., isolated public lectures).
