Hi Everyone,
I am a Permanent Resident of Canada since 2018. I've submitted my PR Card Renewal in the beginning of April 2023 (submitted online), and today I just noticed that I might have filled wrong dates for time spent outside Canada, I left Canada on March 13th, 2021 but I got it mixed up with some other important dates so I put March 20th, 2021 instead as the day I left Canada on my application, so that adds up an extra 7 days of "Time Spent Outside Canada", which totals up to around 780 days of time spent outside Canada in total (still meets the residency obligation requirements).
At the same time, my "Address History (Inside and Outside Canada)" would also have the same mistakes, my address history in Canada would only go up till March 13th, 2021 rather than March 20th, 2021.
Right now I figured I have 3 choices:
1. Submit a new PR Card Renewal application online with the corrected information.
I don't know what will happen to the duplicate application, will that affect the process?
2. Send a IRCC Webform under the category of "Permanent Resident Card" or "Permanent Residence (applied online)" category and explain this situation to them, and ask them to update this change to my application.
However I need help on which category of IRCC Webform I must send it to.
3. Just leave it as it is and forget about it, since my residency obligation is still met even with the correction anyways.
However I am worried if in the future I need to contact with IRCC, and I give out the correct information next time, they would realize that there was a discrepancy with information I've updated and lead to other consequences (I did not mean to give out wrong information for sure).
Thank you very much!
