Incorrect answer in the questionnaire for personalized checklist

Sep 7, 2022

I'm currently inside Canada on a study permit that is valid until 30th April 2023. While trying to apply for extension,, the questionnaire which produces a personalized checklist asked about staying in another country for more than 6 months in the last year. I answered "No" assuming they meant the year before 30th April 2023 as that is the date I am seeking extension from.

However after submitting the application I realised that they meant the year before the date of submission, based on which I should've answered "Yes".

I have sent out webform to address this but I'm wondering if the answers in the questionnaire for checklist can be flagged as misrepresentation as well? All the details in my application package were true except for this misunderstanding.

I tried to act asap and submitted webform 2 days after the submission of application, could they still ban me for this?

Sending a webform is the right thing to do. There shouldn't be an issue since you submitted the webform.

Is there a reason you've applied for the study permit extension so early? This is extremely unusual.

I received a really good job offer that I would not want to lose. I finish my studies in April and won't have enough time to apply for PGWP before my study permit expired so I wanted to make sure I have everything lined up.

Also I've heard sometimes it takes upto 4-5 months to get a response and in case my application got rejected I wanted to have some time to apply again while still having a valid permit.

Honestly I think I should've just waited a couple of months cus then the answer to that questionnaire question would have been "No" regardless of my interpretation.
