Do they look at corrections after a decision has been made?
Seriously, you should have just left it. The VO obviously figured it out. Not sure why you felt the need to potentially complicate things for no reason.

No idea if they will look at it or not.

I just didn't want to make it seem like I was lying to them or anything. Also how do could it complicate things? You have me worried now

I think you did the right thing. You are being honest. They keep all your applications on file, so when you apply for PR through common-law they will look back through these and if there is conflicting information (which there would have been if this application stated a different common-law date then your PR application will) it will raise a red flag.

Perhaps they will decide to review it or perhaps they will misunderstand what you said and are trying to correct. The point is, you didn't need to send anything after the fact; if they had thought you lied, they would have said something.

They don't look at previous apps unless they find something wrong or confusing in the PR app. This is a simple date mix-up and would have NOT raised a red flag.

Is there any way to cancel a CSE? Can I send another CSE telling them to just cancel the previous one with an apology For being confusing? Just tell them that it was a weird little typo in my explanation letter. I don't want to dwell on this for weeks now. I know they don't reply to some CSE for up to 6 weeks, if at all
