Urgent need of advice! Honest application, but worried of misrepresentation

@canuck_in_uk again, sorry to bother, but maybe you could comment on my concerns which I raised when I replied to what you posted? I really appreciate your advice as the Senior Member of this forum

Thank you for your advice on the topic!

I'm abroad for less than 3 weeks. I've been reading about it here and it seems that 3-4 weeks would be a maximum, so hopefully that will be ok.

1. That's what I was hoping for, that it won't be noticed. Hard to believe that they will compare the original sent by mail with PR app with the scan, uploaded to visa extension app in that much detail, on the first look they really similar. Yet, once I started to stress about it, the question is raised - what IF it is noticed, and how serious it can get? (That is why I was thinking about even withdrawing PR app, waiting couple of months and re-applying, with all new forms, including this one, or applying outland instead. Because if that can be counted as misrepresentation, or faking the notarial document, even without intention to do so and that all the information provided are truthful, I would rather wait for couple of months more, even 1 year or so, than have 5 years ban)

2. I will follow your advice and withdraw extension app. If I withdraw, do they keep it in the records? Or it's like it was never submitted? Even if they have records, are the chance they they will compare every single detail are smaller? I mean, it was withdrawn after all.

As it was an online app, it will stay in the system. Little chance that IRCC will compare anything.

Thank you! I swear it's the last question on this matter, since I will probably decide to follow your advice (I might consult with the lawyer also) - IF compared, do you think that can count as misrepresentation?

I wouldn't bother consulting a lawyer. If noticed, IRCC may ask you to clarify. Your explanation is fairly straightforward and the changes you made are not material, i.e. you didn't change the dates of common-law or anything like that, so I really don't think that IRCC would take any action.
