Hey guys, hoping someone can help.
Received my ITA through Provincial Nominee Program and in the process of filling out my online forms. Have a small query regarding this, and my personal situation:
"Has XXXXXXXXXXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?"
In Canada since November 2016 - 2 years on a UK IEC and triggered an Irish Young Professionals (closed work permit) in November 2018. I am dual citizenship - UK and Ireland. In May 2019 my previous employer sold the location I worked at to another employer. My job title and everything about the job and business remained the same, just under a new employer. During this period I had to request to change employers as my work permit still had the old employers name on it. This was a 5 week process and wait.
However on June 13th I received an email from IRCC "refusing" my application due to "exhausting the 24 month period of my Irish International Experience Canada Program" (of which I had only used 7 months) - IRCC officer made an error I guess? I raised a web form and my application was approved a couple days later and I received my new permit in the mail on June 19th. I have since been working in my same role.
My question is, even though it was accidental, do I still put YES to this question and explain the situation, or NO? Thanks for any help!
