Post Graduate Work Permit (Made a mistake on IMM5710E File)

Hello,

I recently applied to pgwp with all my documents and paid the fee. After my application, i noticed that i made a mistake on imm5710e file form under the employment section. It is stated that:
Give details of your employment for the past 10 years, including if you have held any government positions (such as civil servant, judge, police officer, mayor, member of parliament,
hospital administrator)

On this section, i mistakenly wrote the part time jobs that i worked on while studying. Will this create any problem on my application process ? I sent an email to cic through web form but i doubt they will reply. I also finished two 1 year post grad programs and on the education section of IMM5710, there was only one space so that i had to write my second program under employment part and stated as student with brackets.

I will appreciate your answers.

Why do you think it was a mistake to list you part time jobs? That sounds fine.
For two programs I believe you only write the current one then include an explanation letter that you did 2 programs and completion letters/transcripts from both programs. But I don't see you writing in the second program in the form being an issue.

Thank you for the reply. Yes i had to write my second program under employment part but i also uploaded my combined graduation letters and transcripts so i hope they understand. Another question is, how long does the processing takes ? On the website, it says 6 weeks but when i called them they say more than 2 months. Thank you again.

Look in the student Forum there is entire thread about processing time 2-3 month is more accurate I believe.

So, In my work permit extension form, where they have asked that have I applied to enter or stay in Canada, I wrote No as an answer, but now I think I should say yes, because its an extension that means I had applied work permit before.

Yes, I got approved. Although I sent them a webform stating my error and I attached my work permit too. This is a common error. So don't worry. They have your UCI. They know if you have applied before. But sent a webform to be safe.

Ah thats good to hear, I applied for a PGWP on Monday and I put my previous occupation in my current occupation, but I sent in a webform with the corrected documentation. Is this similar to what you did?

Hi all,
I have recently applied for my PGWP. In the employment history section, I put Student (Recently graduated) in my current occupation. and then I continued with my past jobs (the jobs I had before I started studying). I worked part time for a few month while studying my last semester. I did not mention that in this section, since the list seemed ok and there was no gap. I did as below:
2019 to 2021 Student
2016 to 2019 Job 1
2011 to 2016 Job 2

Do you think I should send a webform and add the part time job while studying?

Thank you in advance!
