IRCC IMM 1294 form-fill helper (Canada study permit)

You are filling out IRCC form IMM 1294 — Application for Study Permit Made Outside of Canada — for [CLIENT_NAME], a India passport-holder applying to [PROGRAM] at [INSTITUTION].

Walk me through EACH question of the IMM 1294 form (2023-10 revision or newer). For each:

1. Quote the IRCC form's exact question text.
2. Provide the recommended answer for [CLIENT_NAME]'s profile.
3. Note any common Indian-applicant pitfall for that question (e.g. Q1.6 "Have you ever applied for any visa to any country?" — Indians often forget short-term UAE/Schengen visas).
4. Reference any supporting document the answer triggers (e.g. UCI from prior application, DLI letter of acceptance, GIC certificate).

KEY DETAILS:
• Country of residence: India (default)
• Program: [PROGRAM]
• Institution + DLI: [INSTITUTION]
• Dates: [START_DATE] to [END_DATE]
• Tuition Year 1: CAD [TUITION_CAD]
• Living Year 1: CAD 20635

PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO:
• Section A (Personal details) — name MUST match passport exactly (Indian names with single-name passports need special handling — see "GIVEN NAMES" field instructions).
• Section B (Languages) — first official language used in correspondence with IRCC matters.
• Section C (Passport) — expiry MUST extend beyond intended departure.
• Section D (National identity document) — Aadhaar is NOT a national ID for IRCC purposes; use Voter ID or PAN if asked separately.
• Section E (Education) — list ONLY post-secondary; high school not required unless gap year context demands.
• Section H (Family information) — common errors: married applicants forgetting to list spouse if spouse not accompanying; parents living abroad must be disclosed.
