Hi,
I am also a victim selected in December for this review exercise as well as you guys.
I have a little problem. When I sent my application in October, in the part of writing the addresses where I have lived, I put some dates wrong and I skipped an address. When I arrived in Canada I stayed at a friend's house for 5 days (as a guest), and instead of placing this, I stated that those 5 days I was where I subsequently rented. But now that I am asked for the CIT 0205 and landlords letters, where it says that those 5 days I was not there. Will there be a problem if the two forms do not match exactly? What should I do?
Are there any who have already received an invitation to the test after sending the CIT 0205 and all the documents requested??
Thank you in advance
Ceci
While I am NO expert, it is easy to recognize that the basic principles applicable to procedures like this still apply:
-- carefully read and follow the instructions
-- respond as thoroughly as you are able,
making a concerted diligent effort (this is NOT an off-the-top-the-head or from-memory process; take it seriously) to be as
COMPLETE and
ACCURATE as possible
If in providing accurate information in response to the Questionnaire there are discrepancies with information previously submitted to IRCC (including PR application, PR card renewal application, as well as in the citizenship application) or CBSA (such as at a Port-of-Entry during a Secondary referral examination), depending on the nature, scope, significance, or extent of the discrepancy, consider adding a supplemental page specifically acknowledging and identifying the discrepancy, affirm what the accurate information is, and perhaps offer an explanation for why there was erroneous (or omitted) information in the other submission.
Foremost, do your best to be accurate and complete in what you submit in response, no matter what you previously submitted. While you can and should use previously submitted information in determining what is the most complete and accurate response, do NOT skirt or short the truth to make it consistent with previous submissions.
If the difference is significant, again, acknowledge and explain. BE BRIEF.
Never approach these things in a style that is anywhere near my bloated, verbose way of writing (sorry, it's the best I can do). Be brief. Be brief. Stick to
facts more than conclusions. "I overlooked [this or that fact]" OR "[XYZ] was a mistake." That is enough and better, a lot better than a rambling explanation about why you were distracted or focused on something else or whatever thought process you might have had.
In the meantime, your report brings up some tangents which are more general, which I will address in the topic
RQ versus Physical Presence Questionnaires, including CIT 0205
