hi, I am thinking to apply in Nov. For the language proof, I will submit a copy of IELTS that I gave during PR application. My spouse had cleared CELPIP exam which she did not use earlier for PR but I am not able to find the copy of her results. She cleared it in early 2013. Do you know if we an order a copy of those results again? Thanks

Please visit the link https://www.celpip.ca/test-scoring/
Among other things, it says "Additional score reports are only available for tests that have been taken within the last 2 years....."

Hi, Thinking about applying in November and have a question, please! My husband has traveled a lot for work since he got PR. How significant are errors in the record? There are a few days here and there we are unsure about - not enough to make a difference for eligibility or for being 180 days in any foreign country, though. Thank you!

Depends on the officer going over your file. Worst case it could trigger an RQ, best case if you have enough buffer days on top of 1095 days, they will let it slide. Best case happened to one of the forum members here.

I would suggest to order CBSA entry/exit records (4-5 weeks processing time) and then fill out the application accordingly.

if the trips were to US on a Travel Visa, then you can use the following website to access the US Border records instantly (not super accurate, but helpful):

Thank you so much, these are all very useful links. We'll have to think about it now. It sounds like CBSA will send the information straight to CIC if authorized, so I'm leaning towards allowing this authorization and taking our chances (he has 100 extra buffer days and there are only probably three days in question).

In that case, attach a cover letter explaining the uncertainty around the 3 days.

Now that's a good idea too! I think we'll submit a request for information today and continue with the application and once it's all entered into the spreadsheet, if it's almost 30 days from now, we'll just hold off until CBSA responds, but if we are quick on our side, we will just send it off once it is done. Thank you again.
