Hello, I am in the same boat, can you please update me how did your pr application go ? Did they give you hard time for that period ?
I wasn't in this situation. I think you are mistaking me for someone else.

Hi All,

My current score is 486 and I'm in the process of applying and creating my CIC profile. I've explained my situation below and have a few questions. Kindly help:

I worked on Working Holiday Visa in Canada for 2 years from 2013 to 2015. Post this as I was in a relationship with someone I stayed back on a visitor visa which expired in 2016 September. However, I failed to notice the same and overstayed in Canada. I left Canada 2 weeks ago and returned to my home country- Ireland. I now want to apply for immigration and as my score is 486, I'm sure looking at the trend I'll soon receive an invite.

Questions:
1. If all my documents are in place. Can my PR application be rejected when they notice my overstay dates?
2. Do I add a letter of explanation to CIC along with my application and share what went wrong. Will this help? (I can provide my previous company ref letters, pay stubs, Landlord references, friends references, my teaching background in Ireland for 10 years to create a case that my background is clear, and this was an unintended mistake?)
3. I also missed on filing my T4 for the 2 years I worked in Canada. Can this go against me?

Thank You
