Insurance Associate Diploma not mentioned in PR Application

[JSPCAN]

Hi Senoirs,

I got my passport stamped with PR visa 15 days back i.e. last week of November and am planning to be in Canada by March 2018

I am interested in taking up insurance as a profession when I reach there. I hold an Associate Diploma from Insurance Institute of India since 2010. During my search I got to know that Insurance Institute of Canada allows an exemption in a few subjects in one of their courses ( like CIP) if you are the above qualification.

But I realized that I did not mention about my Associateship diploma in my PR application (as its a qualification where there is no time period FROM -TO for the course) . Its a self-study course. You need appear and clear the exams in one go or may take years to do it.So I was advised by my immigration agent/advisor not to mention it.

And since I DID NOT MENTION it in my application so I did NOT EVEN GET IT ACCREDITED FROM WES while applying for PR as I did not know that this Associateship diploma holds value in Canada.


Queries::
-Have I ,unknowingly, hidden facts by not giving complete information ?..If yes what should I do ? AM I IN TROUBLE if I declare it to any Canadian Insurance body now to claim exemption in courses ?

-Is there any need to get it my Associateship Diploma accredited now , for future purpose?

Am worried about the inadvertent miss I made.


Regards

don't think there is any concern about misrepresentation. The missing information probably wouldn't have altered your approval and there is no accreditation associated with it. Personally, I think you'll be fine.

Thanks Buletruck...your thought gives me a lot of reassurance....

1)is there any place/website which may confirm/give some explanation regarding this misprepresentation....I want be 100% sure.

2) When you say " no accreditation associated with it".....how or from where do we come to know whether my Associateship Diploma from Insurance Institute of India needs accredited or not ?

1. From what you have said, not including the information didn’t improve your chances. Not certain, but including the information would likely have improved your admissibility (which you already qualified without) rather than detract from it. You can read through this and make sure you note the use of “good judgement” throughout the document and not just the regulation: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/enf/enf02-eng.pdf
2. Can’t help you with that one.....someone else may have an idea....sorry.

Thanks Buletruk..Yes,you are right. Mentioning this Associateshop Diploma would have only increased my points and not decreased it.

Woulfd appreciate if someone else xan give inputs on point 2.
Await responses.
