Hi all, just a quick question. Hope you can calm my nerves.

When I submitted my Australian passport I scanned every single page, and I sent an Index in front of the passport stating;

Page 1 - Biometric page
Page 2 - Entry for Country X
Page 3 - Exit Visa for Country X

I made a mistake on one of the pages and accidentally wrote:

'Canadian Working Visa' in Canadian passport when I should have written:

'Canadian Working visa' in Australian Passport.

I called CIC and the agent so, for the small error the Agents will just over look it. Has anyone made an error similar to this?

Please help I'm panicking now. I checked all my documents a million times and only after submitting did I realize this error. :'(

Thats just a typo and should not be a real cause of worry. Just relax.

Just to be safe, send them a case specific enquiry, and explain your situation: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Thank you @StAnger, @ Nightrocker. I have been so stressed since realizing this.

Just the pressure of working throughout last week to get all documents ready and now its submitted there's a feeling of 'What comes next?'

I understand your anxiety - applying for PR is a stressful process and the fear of making a mistake can be horrifying!

In this situation, however, you are overreacting (sorry to be that blunt!). You should give some credit to the visa officers that they can spot a clear typo like that - they aren't robots.

I think even the CSE would be overkill. Your application will not be refused because of this.

Now relax and celebrate a little! You've taken the biggest hurdle already and now it's just a waiting game. And from the sounds of it, you've been extremely diligent anyways - I'd venture a guess that less than 2% of applicants actually produced an entry / exit stamp index for their passport!

All the best!

JoacRy,

You've been in this forum for quite a while now... You should be a little more confident than that :)

It's a typing error on a document (an index) that isn't even required. Don't be so hard on yourself. :)

@Dexmoody, @Eucalyptus thanks for all your support. I think I will go and have a quiet drink to celebrate after work today.

Thank you very much. :)
