Hello,
I sent my citizenship application last Sunday, I filled it in quickly and submitted it without properly reviewing. I made a mistake in my work timeline, I entered unemployed from Janruary 2017 to August 2018 when in fact I was employed from January 2017 to October 2017. This period was before my becoming a PPR and arriving to Canada in August 2018, so it should not be materially important, however I do want to rectify it as soon as I get my AOR number, especially since my PPR application includes the work experience of 2017...
I am however very troubled and concerned what the officer might think or what they might do to my application because 10 months screw up might not be seen as a whoopsie... The truth is I failed to take the application seriously enough and take my time in reviewing, I got too excited when the calculator told me I could already lodge my application that I filled it hastily...
My other bright idea is to request cancellation of my application, and then I can resubmit in a year when 2017 becomes irrelevant.
Am I overthinking this? I made a mistake and I will be the one notifying them, it does not materially change eligibility...
Thoughts on this?
