Hi Ankur,
Sorry for the late reply. Was very busy and couldn't connect. I have got the approval. Don't worry we have informed them prior that is more important and this should not be of any concern. I also checked this issue with Kubeir sir and he also said the same. As long as we have given them the information on time there should not be any issue.
Thank you for your reply

Well, I applied for 491 from outside of Australia, At that time, I don't think they introduced EE in Australia. This is a long time back. but Yes, I understand there could be a negative impact. I will submit a web form with a Letter of explanation and inform IRCC. Better safe than sorry, right?

Thank you very much for your feedback @Taran D . I really appreciate your time and knowledge.
Great.
No worries and all the best.

Accept that it was a mistake from your side and apologize. That is what I did.
Hi,
Did you have a lawyer or consultant for this issue? I am wondering if it needs to hire a lawyer? I am worried about this. Because I didn’t disclose past visa refusal in my previous application and it was approved and now I want to apply for PR application. I am confused whether I can do this without having lawyer or not?

Hi Friends,

I have been in Canada for few years. I have got study permit, renewal and PGWP. I was applying for the PR application in the TR-PR pathway recently. Since everything was in so much hurry because of the short time duration I accidentally checked all columns No for the declaration of visa refusal from any other countries. After someone else reviewed the application once again he spotted the mistake on the form and understood that the order of questions confused me and the questions change after the first 2-3 which are only for Canada.

To make matters further complicated it appears the same question was asked in the study permit and work permit and I did not declare it over there as well. ( I should have done it, I am not sure why it wasn't marked )

I had visa refusal from Norway and Germany in my past and later after few years travelled and stayed at both the places successfully under Norway and Schengen Visa at different times.

Since the application was submitted yesterday either I can withdraw this application, or I can submit CSE with updated form. I am a bit afraid that this makes my application look bad concerning the declaration were not made previously either. I am concerned on what is this the right course of action here ? I want to understand what is the best way out here. I am worried if the previous applications being approved but missing declaration could impact my current application or worst result in a misrepresentation or ban. I am also worried if I would be affecting my current status in any way.

If I do submit the updated form, should I be submitting a letter from myself or a lawyer to help explain it. Will that help ensure that I want to be honest and made a innocent error on the form that I am voluntary declaring and bring to light. I am happy to hire a lawyer if that can help make it better. I am trying to ensure the officer on the case feels satisfied and I don't face any bad outcomes.

Even if the PR application is refused, I do not want the ban to happen. That would just shatter me completely.

Please help me with your experience. May God keep u in memory.
Hi @w2one
