Hello guys,
I hope you will help me to clarify the following:
Today one of my friends who is applying for PR but in different program received her application package back because she had a mistake in her Personal History Table (Question 8, Form 5669).
My friend arrived to Canada lets say on August 22nd and started her appointment on September 1st. In the Personal History Table she put month 8 (August) as time when she was unemployed in her own country and from month 9 (September) she wrote that she was employed by a company in Canada. Her documents were returned with a comment that since she arrived to Canada in month 8, she should had also included month 8 as a time of unemployment in Canada too.
I have similar problem because my appointment started June 1 st and I arrived to Canada 10 days before this date. My concern is that if I follow the instruction my friend was given, it could look like I’ve broken Canadian law because I did not work while being on worker status (month of May). I do not know if this is a common practice of keeping the records of one’s activity or it was just due to a captious officer who relieved my friend’s case.

If you ever came across with such situation, can you advise me on this matter?

Thank you,

Hi tulip_001, I think you can send an update form if you are a little concerned that your application might be returned. But let us wait for seniors opinion or anyone else who has experienced this situation earlier.

By the way, after how many months from the application filing date was your friends application returned by CIC?

From what I know she applied at the end of December, so it was a pretty fast rejection. She is a caregiver and from what i know, they have a different program for PR.
I have not yet applied because I want to clarify this.
