Hi everyone,
I am at the stage of gathering documents for my e-APR, and have noticed some "errors"/discrepancies that were in my Express Entry profile, and wondered if it would be mandatory for me to decline my ITA and update/or create a new EE profile and wait it out again in the pool for (hopefully) another ITA?
1) In the Immigration history section, there is a question which asks "Has [first name] [last name] applied for Permanent Residence (PR) before?".
A few months ago, when creating my first Express Entry profile I did not see that there was a link to click on in the profile to show an unread message (instructing to create a Job Bank profile). As a result after around a month, my profile became ineligible because of this, and I had to create a new one.
So with the new EE profile, I mistakenly answered yes to the above question. It was not till after accepting my ITA, and looking at the "Application type" column, that I realized that I have not actually applied for PR before, only Express Entry.
I seem to be able to still change this answer to "No" in my Permanent Residence profile/application, so hope this would be a non-issue for CIC?
2) I only recently became aware that as a CEC-stream applicant, I wouldn't be required to show proof of funds.
So after learning this and spending a portion of my savings, I wondered if I could just change the figure from $12,xxx, to just 0 without having to go back to the pool or getting grilled on why I say I am now bringing zero dollars?
3) Lastly, after requesting one of my letters of reference for foreign work experience, I realized that I had got my dates of employment wrong in my EE profile.
I had actually left the particular company one month sooner than I had thought. Also, I had worked as a temp in the same role for 3-4 months before being offered a permanent full-time role, and had included this temp time in my overall period of employment.
This ultimately means that, instead of, say, 4 and a half years in the role, I would have actually only had ~4 years and 2 months. I am hoping that I can just change the start and end dates in my PR profile, and that if need be, this mix-up can be explained by way of an LOE? Having to decline my ITA and re-enter the pool to correct this mistake in particular would really suck, as I don't even think they even award points for partial years?
Any clarification would be most welcome.
Cheers!
