Why did you resubmit ?

 

[yadav]

I resubmit cos they sent the file once again saying they couldnt calculate the physical presence before i became PR. Unfortunately i was on implied status for 3 yrs sept 11 2029 till 21 july 2022. and since we count last years i had to now resubmit with explanation and extra documents to prove i was here legally and never left the country. Landlord letter, CBSA travel history.

 

[GeeShus]

Oh that is why. I hope everything is ironed out now.
