HI

Hi, I sent my application , 2 months ago, with an error in the signature box date (I wrote July 9, 2024 instead of July 9, 2019). So far I have no answer and my problem is that I moved from the address I had written in the application. However, I have been able to contact IRCC and they have told me that they cannot find my application, there is not any trace of it.
I have a specific question please: if my application was returned by postal mail, shouldn't there be any information or trace about that in my dossier? I already have an IUC because it is my second application. Thank you very much in advance for your advice
1. If the application was returned as incomplete, then IRCC wouldn't keep a record of it.

Hi i made a type error in imm 5532 part c question 11 where you can place more information about your relationship. Instead of placing year 2016 i typed 2017, where i stated we met 2017 instead of 2016 coz we got married in 2017.

Apples and dingleberries.

There is a fundamental, substantive, and definitive difference between erroneous information in the application VERSUS entering the wrong date in the signature box.

The completeness check does not involve an assessment, let alone verification, of information submitted. It merely checks to see that necessary information has been provided, and that information (as provided) meets the requirements for PROCESSING the application. Many, many errors will thus pass the completeness check so that the application results in AOR.

Those sorts of mistakes can be and often are addressed later in the process. If they do not have an impact which negates qualification they can be, in effect, disregarded. Or, they can be corrected by the applicant later in the process.

The date in the signature box, however, is the critical date which the whole application is based upon, by definition. This date is not mere information. It is the operative date the application is made. If the applicant makes an error in entering this date, not only does previous reporting indicate there is no way to amend this, that is what makes sense.

Hi may i know the format of your letter. I committed a typo error also in my IMM 5532 part c where i can place more information about our relat, instead of 2016 i typed 2017. I hope i can do the same too.
QUOTE="mumbai1985, post: 6814080, member: 495216"]I had a mistake in list of addresses.

Correct dates:
Sep 2013 to Oct 2017 - address 1

Oct 2012 to Aug 2013 - address 2

What I put in the application:
Sep 2013 to Oct 2017 - address 1

Oct 2012 to Aug 2012 - address 2

Clearly, 2nd entry will cause a gap and date range is incorrect and not plausible.

Despite this error, I got Aor and it's now in process. I contacted ircc through webform and gave them correct dates, which they acknowledged.[/QUOTE]
