Hey mate. I understand how frustrating it is to get different answers on the same issue. That happened to me many times.
The problem is not the forum or the answers, the problem is you. You are looking for a definite answer, from people who are like me and yourself and know something based on their own experience and readings. Members here are not immigration lawyers, and even if some might be, IRCC immigration law is very complicated and everything depends on officers and analysts reviewing your case.
#1: No matter what your situation is, someone in the past had the same thing and they moved on with IRCC. Don't take it too hard!
#2: Read ALL the instructions, VERY carefully. Try to do your research on your own. Nobody cares about your case more than you should you do
#3: When submitting your profile, follow ALL the instructions very carefully. The officers are super busy processing many applications, and the more standard, straightforward and organized your case is, the better for you. Otherwise, your application can get easily stuck for months
#4: Provide LOE for anything you find unusual. Don't write paragraphs, just a couple of lines to clarify something you believe is out of order
Hope this helps. Best of luck
