Hello ,

i came to Canada in 2016 to study a coop diploma… I didn’t finish my coop and I transferred to a BBA. I successfully completed my BBA inJuly 2021.
I’m filling my application for EE CEC, and my immigration consultant just realized I was part time working during a time I shouldn’t have in 2016 because I was a part time student (I was only taking 1-2 classes/month for a few months). I honestly had no idea, I was new to Canada, and I didn’t know. I know, I perfectly know that this is not a good enough justification, but it’s the truth. No one told me, in the school they didn’t tell me anything, classmates and other students would also study 1-2 classes per month and no one would say anything to them.
She realized this when I sent her the transcripts from this diploma. She told me transcripts are 10000% mandatory.

After I graduated from this school, I applied for a second study permit and then a PGWP which is set to expire in October 2024.

I am completely lost, I don’t know what to do and this is really affecting my mental health.… she told me it would be better to-apply for PR through family class- common law, but I am really trying to avoid that, I came here on my own and I wanted to do it by myself…

is there anything that I can do in this case?Are transcripts always needed? Can I leave out from personal history that casual job I had during those months? Would that make things worse?

The part-time thing to my knowledge is only applicable for the PGWP, which you got somehow. I don't think it is a requirement to be eligible for EE-CEC. @scylla

I'd suggest consulting with an experienced lawyer. Unauthorized work results in inadmissibility under IRPA A41(a) "A person is inadmissible for failing to comply with this Act (a) in the case of a foreign national, through an act or omission which contravenes, directly or indirectly, a provision of this Act;" but it's possible a good lawyer can guide on how to properly present the case and whether an economic PR program is the right path forward compared to family sponsorship.

Trying to hide it and getting discovered is going to result in misrepresentation and 5 year ban and complicate future sponsorship applications as well.

makes no sense trying to hide it. They have your part time transcript and your taxes to prove you were working. Easily verified by the government. I would consult an experienced lawyer but I would still go ahead with the application. There is nothing you can do to change the pass but an IRCC officer may use their discretion on that part. Nothing is guaranteed as the error was already done.

I applied under PNP and no transcript was required. Just upload the degree or a letter of completion from the university. I don't know where they ask for a transcript.

Do schools share transcripts with IRCC?
