Mistakes on application

The more I go through my application package the more mistakes I find or so it seems

1. One of my qualifying position is "Transportation Coordinator" What I just noticed is that in the 10 years history part of the form I put it as Transportation Representative and on the economic classes form I put the correct one and the employment letter also has correct.
Will this be a problem?

2. Date of last entry in to Canada I keyed in the wrong date difference by ten days

3. Employment start date was 2nd Jan because 1st is official holiday but I keyed in 1st

4. On birth certificate where is should say Name of Mother for some reason whoever issued the birth certificate back home put Name of Grandfather but the name is of mothers

Will these be significant issues? I know no one can provide a certain answer but just based on your experience?

Also while I am asking this - can someone tell me when they return the package do they send it through the same courier they received it with or is it always Canada post?

Thanks

I would send another new set of application duly corrected with my different CC details and if you provide your CC info for payment then cancel your card or ask your bank to not authorize the payment. You have last couple of days left to apply under CEC current system. After Dec 31 there will be Express Entry.

Suggestion to send another application is very concerning.

If I remember correctly I did discuss all these mistakes before on the forum and I was assured that they are no big deal.

Its #1 that I just discovered and probably #4 that I did not confirm before.

My mind tells me that these should not be big issues at least until AOR

Seniors please suggest and advise.

Not a new application but just a letter. However, #4 is fatal (IMHO). You should know better BEFORE sending it.
I KNOW! Its just one of those things!

Like #1 I just discovered..I can't believe I missed that..

I was thinking let the process take its course and not send anything at least until an AOR is received?

Seniors can I get some reassurances/replies
The best thing to do would be wait till the AoR comes.
Draft a cover letter that covers the mistakes in the application.
I feel that #1-3 can be covered by giving a good letter, but I am thinking how we can deal with #4..

Items 1-3 are minor and can be corrected later.

Item 4 - I'm not sure I understand. The BC says "Name of Grandfather" but has your mother's name?

Is it in English?

First thing to do is to get a corrected birth certificate.

I was asked to submit 2 forms for my son who just turned 18. That was mid-December. A week or two ago, I just felt like opening the PDF of those forms. Lo and behold, I found out that my son signed in December 2015 instead of 2014 on the date part of the signature. I did not bother to resend the form. I will just wait for CIC to ask me about it.

I think it's better to wait if CIC will ask to resend the form where we did a mistake... and hope for the best :)

Yes exactly says Name of Grandfather and in front it says name of mother.
