Explain the personal reasons that you mentioned in your post.

The CIS officer may be more interested to know whether you really plan to start working for the petitioner in the future, etc.

I would need more information regarding your particular case before I could comment on it properly.

However, what I can say is that you must tell the immigration servies the truth they ask you why you have not been working.

Please note that you will have to tell the immigration service the truth before they would have already carried out their own investigation and know that you were not working.
