Hi there,

I recently posted this on here and got kind responses, however there's been a few updates since, so please don't delete it!

2 years ago i applied for a open work permit, and i realized i didn't remove medical conditions meaning i was working in a field i wasn't allowed to (with kids) when i had been, i immediately applied for a new work permit to remove these conditions but i'm now very sure i incorrectly ticked a box 'no' to the any previous unauthorized work question when i definitely should have ticked 'yes' (Due to me at the time believing unauthorized work was defined as working solely without a work permit of any kind). I understand this has huge potential consequences so i messaged IRCC via webform to alter my answer and they stated they couldn't change anything due to the application being processed.

I am going to include a LOE in my common-law sponsorship app. However, i now understand that i am eligible for PR through both CEC express entry immigration and common-law sponsorship. Obviously, the processing time for CEC is faster, but my concern is that because i technically got my work experience via a previous misrepresentation, IRCC will care more about the incorrect response, whereas through sponsorship, previous work experience does not effect your eligibility - do you think i should continue with what i'm doing, or go down the CEC route (obviously i'm going to attach a LOE either way). Also, i got my ATIP back and they have destroyed my application i misrepresented on (just incase this affects your guys opinions)

Thankyou!!

OK - so that's in a very good range to get you selected.

I can't answer your questions about the unauthorized work. It's extremely unique - I honestly doubt we've ever seen anyone else here with that same question before.

Since it seems like you're super nervous about this, go the common law route and problem solved.

Thankyou for the honest answer! I know it's very unique.
100% nervous about it, i love canada and don't want to be forced to leave!
But again, thankyou.

Hi Scyllia,
in February 2016, i applied for the visit visa and forgot to mention my brother who was living in canada, they refused the TRV with the reasons "intention of purpose, family ties and have no enough funds". Then I applied again on November 2018 and again got refusal with the same reasons but that time I mentioned my brother that he would be accompanying me.
Later, in September 2019 I applied for SINP and claimed my brothers points and got nominted on 31/12/2019, Now i am applying for express entry...
Could you please advise if this will be trouble for me while they would be verifying background check for my previous rejection reasons?

No troubles as long as you truthfully mention your previous visa rejections.

Hi thank you for your reply, somewhere I read scylla post where she mentioned it could be trouble later either in PR application or maybe in citizenship application. However, I mentioned everything in second visit visa, SINP and now on federal...
