Hi.. My husband submitted PR application under Hongkong Pathway stream B on 29th may 2024 and included me as a dependent(m currently in pakistan) ..As he is working in canada but in PR application instead of choosing Economic catagory he mistakenly chose H&C catagory. we got to know this when we saw GCMS notes.. After that my husband submitted webform in OCTOBER for requesting for correction and we got reply on 13th NOVEMBER that our request is forwarded to relevent department for further actions but till now we received no email for correction .. We got our biometric done on 25th NOVEMBER but as we know our application is processing under wrong catagory.. What can we do now as we're really depressed and took every possible step we could do (called Ircc, submitted webform, contacted MP) but still no response from IRCC..


can you please suggest us what can we do for correction so that our application process fast...Thankyou

This is a very big mistake. Withdraw the application and reapply under the right program.

IMO it is unlikely you will be able switch your existing application to a different program / stream.

My honest guess is that you will have better chances of this getting processed properly by applying with an entirely new application with the correct stream chosen.

You can also write and ask them to 'change' the stream (as you've done) or just leave it to proceed, but there's no guarantee that will happen.

I could be wrong. But since this is a temporary public policy that they could cancel at any time, my inclination would be to get a new application in immediately to avoid having the window close.

Thankyou for your kind response and suggestion..

So means applying again is the only solution.. we already wasted 8 months

Get an opinion from an immigration lawyer before you withdraw. However IRCC does not typically move applications from on program to another. Maybe they will make an exception here. I just wouldn't count on it.

If you need to reapply, it may be wise to do so with the help of a lawyer to avoid any further mistakes.
