Hi all,
Final decision on our PR application was due on 26th July 2019. Since we (me-primary applicant) did not get any decision from IRCC, we checked the status of our application online. It was mentioned that there was a delay in processing our application. Hence we re-visited all the details we submitted for the PR application and realised that we had made an unfortunate mistake while providing the answer for the below question.
  • Have you been refused refugee status in , or an immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa to, Canada or any other country, or have been refused a Certificate de selection du Quebec (CSQ) to Quebec? The answer we provided to the above question was ‘NO’ by mistake. But we would like to update the answer to ‘YES’. My spouse and myself were denied a tourist visa to the USA last year in February 2018. Since we realised this after deadline , we are really stressed about it. Please guide us how to resolve it if it is possible. This was an honest and silly mistake and we did not intend to provide false info.

Apparently, they take this quite seriously. You could be accused of misrepresentation and banned for 5yrs.

Perhaps you could quickly raise a CSE and explain that it was a mistake. Even then you may be at the mercy of the IRCC officer reviewing your file; hopefully, he is a lenient one.
Best wishes on this difficult one, mate.

Would suggest to write letter of explanation and apology and send through webform with all evidence as soon as possible.

Hi, Thank you for your suggestion. I have a doubt .what would be the evidence for this? we have only letter of refusal provided by US consular officer.

That should be good. If you have anything else like appointment letter etc. Reason for rejection etc. It's best to be truthful and accept the mistake and apologize. Explain the whole situation clearly. Also explain why you missed to mention it. If you do this proactively and as soon as possible before they start processing your case, I think they might consider.

Thank you! I have attached all the proof supporting this and raised a query in webform. I hope they consider this. This is stressing so much but thank you for your input and time :)

Hello,
I so stressed out as I did the same mistake just recently. I explained the issue through webform yesterday, still waiting for their reply. Would you please let me know what happened in your case?

Hi, would you please let me know what happened in your case after declaring your mistake to the IRCC? I’m in a same boat.

Hi Guys, I have made a mistake in selecting No for my Provincial Nomination whereas I got one from Ontario. I had selected Yes but for some reason it shows No. I have raised a webform for the same immediately & apologised for the error. How are the replies when a mistake is made?
Can you share your experience.
