Hi guys,

I just realized today that I may have inadvertently made an error on my background/declaration form (IMM5669E). I work for Alberta Health Services, and though it is a corporation, it reports to the Ministry of Health, and may be considered a government agency. When I was filling out my form, I wrote NONE where it asked if I had held government positions.

Am I able to make a correction at this stage? I received my AOR in March 2013. Should I email a new form or send it via courier? I was also going to send a police certificate that came in late. Can I send these together, or should I send them separately to avoid confusion.

Any help would be appreciated....

It's not that big of an error. The background check is more so concerned with employment by foreign governments. However, it is better to correct it. I would explain it in an letter in a couple of lines but since you have other things to submit, mail everything together.

TECHNICALLY WE SHOULD NOT SEND A NEW IMM5669E BECAUSE THE OLD APPLICATION HAVE PREVIOUS DATE AND SIGN. AND CONSIDERING THAT CIC ISSUE THE AOR.
I THINK WE SHOULD SEND A LETTER AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AND REQUEST THEM TO ATTACH TO THE OLD APPLICATION.
AS WE NEED TO SIGN AGAIN NEW APPLICATION WITH CURRENT DATE.THAT MAY CREATE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM TO THE OLD DATED FILE.

If there is an error with background dec, new signed form is required.

I wanted send a explanation letter to CPP- Ottawa that i have make a mistake on question 6 section D mistakenly answer no.and my answer for the question is YES. and attach the reason that my family still in Canada with valid TRV. request them to consider the letter as provided information.with copy of all our trv. and old rejection letter.as i need to update my IMM5669E.
because i have filled the application on jan 2013, and request to add on additional information to my file.if i filled the new imm 5569. possibly lead to negative opinion as i have to sign the imm with new date and rest of file was signed and submitted 4 months ago. ref. conversation in rejection because of the new employer letter and new IMM008.

please post your opinion guys

Have you heard from the immigration? I have the same situation and mistake when I fill-out the form. Can you please tell me what are the steps you did to correct the error?
