But have you received any letters asking you to explain, for example, why you didn't mention your previous work?
Wish you the best of luck. If you have any updates regarding the undeclared work experience, please let me know. Thank you!
I have the same issue, i didnt declare experience in Work permit or study permit. in my pr application i added, work reference letter, contract letter and a picture of me at work with my colleagues.
In my study permit, i mentioned that i was undergoing a program for my goverment, so i didnt feel like i needed to show my work experience then. i was 20 when i did this and i didnt know any better as i did it myself.
Now im using this for my PR application. will this be marked as MisRepresentation? Its the same noc code as my current jobs.
My foreign exp was an entry level role. but my canadian exp is mid level and senior roles. right now i make >$100k.
im scared this will be misrepresentation, but it was just negligence on my part as i was young and dumb and didnt want to be refused a study visa because i already had work.
What do you think?

What do you think?
Yes it could be an issue. You chose not to include your work experience because you believed it would hinder your study permit application. Now you want to count it because it will benefit you. All you can do is wait and see at this point.
Damn, do I add LOE or wait and see? I just had a baby boy in Canada and This silly mistake can ruin my life.
What would you say in an LOE that would justify the omission? Would wait and see if you get a PFL.
True I’ll wait. This is going to be the most nerve wracking 5-6 months of my life due to mistake I made at 20 yrs old, im screwed. Hope my visa officer is understanding. But even if I do get PFL like you said I have no justification. But it wasn’t needed then, I wish I thought about this more. do you think it’s smart to withdraw application for this reason and add LOE in new application explaining that it isn’t fair for me to claim points I never declared in study permit?
If you get a PFL, work with a lawyer.
>add LOE in new application explaining that it isn’t fair for me to claim points I never declared in study permit?
The issue isn't you claiming points. The issue is misrepresentation - IRCC will still know you misrepresented.
