Here I discuss the way of form fill up for Canada Immigration - Schedule 1, Background declaration.

Be aware that form fill up for Canada Immigration - Schedule 1, Background declaration should be done for every 18+ persons accompanying the applicant. For example if there are parents with one child, then two forms of Schedule 1, Background declaration should be filled up. One for the applicant and the other for the spouse of the applicant.

First of all, make sure, you have checked the box indicating for whom the for is being filled up.

I am describing the procedure of form fill up according to the number of the box.

1. Your full name: At first box write down your family name. Put the given name in the next box. If you have more than one given name, put all of them in this box.
2. Your full name in your native language: Write down it in your native language (for example, if your native language is Arabic, you'll have to write your name is Arabic). Probably this will not be supported by the PDF form. In that case you'll have to write it manually (with a pen)
3. Other name you are or have been using: Give your nick name here (if you have any). Other wise write "Not applicable"
4. Your date of birth: Put it in the box following the given format i.e. first year of birth followed by month and date.

8. Personal details of your mother:
   Fill up as before
9. Now read every parts and check the corresponding boxes. Don't forget to provide details in the subsequent area if any of the boxes are checked for yes.
   This box also applies to all of your family members above 18 years.
10. Education:
    Fill up the boxes and table according to your educational achievements.
    
11. Personal history:
    Fill the table starting the latest work you are doing. Be cautious not to leave any space time not mentioned. If you did nothing for the time put unemployed against the time space.

    If you are member of any organization, write it in the table with the specified time in the specified area of the table.
    If you do not have any membership of association just write "None" at the first row.
13. Government positions:
    Fill it you ever have served the government. Put "None" as before if you haven't done before.

    Again do it as previous two. Put "None" on the first box if you don't have served any.
15. Addresses:
    Put all the addresses where you have lived since your 18th birthday.
