While applying for study permit, i didn’t show my foreign work experience. it was by the agent who did it. However i have all the valid documents to show my foreign experience. But as i didn’t show foreign experience in study permit, will it be a problem to claim points in Express entry? Is there anyone who faced the same situation & overcame? Do advice from your experience please.

Not showing is one thing and showing status as “unemployed “ is the other thing, if u showed unemployed previously then it’s gonna be a problem now. If u just didn’t mention it previously then u can explain in LOE why u didn’t mention it previously.
It doesn’t make a difference if it was ur agent or u.

I didn’t face same situation but similar situation where I had to maintain throughout all my applications what I had stated in the beginning. No variation unless you have a justification and the must be explained in LOE

I didn’t mention that i was unemployed. But there was a question to answer in the application where it asks if the applicant have work experience or not. I had to select either yes or no. That time my agent selected No. That's the only one reason of being worried. Though i had all the valid documents of my work experience.

It is misrepresentation.
Are you saying you or the agent didn't fill Employment details in IMM1294?

Even, I'm in the same boat. I checked with my Lawyer here in Canada, as far as you declare this discrepancy on your PR application, you are fine and be truthful and it is NOT a misrepresentation. In LOE, please mention the reason why you did not disclose in your previous application.

Hi,
I applied for my study permit/visa in 2019. It was approved without any difficulty but few days back i reviewed all my documents and found a mistake in work history section.
i have worked for 2 employers in my home country
Company1 - from 08/2017 to 08/2018
Company2- from 08/2018 to 08/2019

but in my application my consultant entered my experience as
Company2- from 08/2017 to present date at the time of application

however,only company2 offer letter was uploaded as a proof of work which clearly mentions date of joining as 08/2018.
My application was approved at that time but i am worried about my future applications for work permit and PR
Please help
