Common law extension mistake

[MountainMan256]

OH NO I MADE A BIG MISTAKE! I said I will have been living with my partner for a year in may of 2017 in my letter of explanation, I meant to type May of 2018, I put to extend it until June, on the actual ap, so I can become common law. Is this a big mistake? This is my second extension, in my previous one I extended for a year, until May of 2018 to become common law, but only got 6 months, now they might think I already am
Common law as of this past May? Am I overreacting or do you think they will see this error? Is there any way I can let them know, or is it no big deal?
I have only been here since last October, so there is no way I could have been living with her for a year prior to last May, my first visit to Canada was June of last year even. Do you think they will see that it's a mistake? Should I just withdraw the application and resubmit? I have 27 days until my status is up.

Anybody ?

I wouldn't rely on advice from folks here for something like that, people here are a wealth of knowledge but not immigration experts by any means. Whenever you have a concern that is so specific like that, it's likely no one will have experienced that. Why don't you call the CIC call centre directly for answers rather than risk potentially misleading advice? Easy solution

I feel like it's a small typo that can be looked over, I am just worried they could read it wrong. Are they possible to withdraw the application and resubmit, or correct them?

Again, no one can tell you what you should do in this case. You should avoid any more speculation and call the people who's job it is to advise you on exactly these questions.

That does sound tricky and it can be taken as 'misrepresentation'. This could either be nothing or something, but you definitely need to act. If I was in your spot, with status ending so quickly, I would consult an immigration lawyer immediately.
There also might be the chance you could just submit a Case Specific inquiry with a NEW version of the document with the correct dates acknowledging that you've made a mistake and the dates are incorrect. However, I'm curious as to how you've applied in the first place for PR without having lived with your partner for 1 year? are you just applying to extend whatever legal status you have in Canada? or is this your actual common law application for PR?

Sorry if I'm confusing. I have not filed for PR yet, because I won't be common law (with proof) until May of 2018, which I told them the last time I extended. This time I just made a typo saying I have lived with her together for a year in May, which clearly isn't right since my first visit was July of last year, and I've only been living here since October of last year. Is a immigration lawyer really necessary? I don't have the money for that, and it seems much too overboard. Also to add, I clearly stated my purpose of extending to ACHEIVE common law. And here is what I said on the letter of explanation. -I would be with my partner under the same roof for a year in May 2017(meant may 2018) with proof such as utilities, rent etc. I have been on the rent with her since May 2017- that is what I said, so I don't know if it's a big mistake or not.

Is this where I inform them of my typo? If so, do I click on temporary residency section for a visa extension mistake?

 

[MountainMan256]

Uh well I just got a reply saying that they accepted my extension app, should I just not worry about it?

You don't need a lawyer and it isn't a big deal. Send the webform to correct the info.

It just got accepted today. I revised my letter that I wrote to them, and I see that I didn't put a typo, I just typed it weird. I guess they must have saw it right as it got accepted. Is there a way I could still send in a correction, just in case, even after the extension is accepted? Or shall I just leave it

Accepted or approved? Very different meanings.

It was approved. it says I can stay until June 2018, and they are sending a letter in the mail. This is my second extension, and it was accepted within a week. I guess I'm lucky. Should I just leave it be?

Yes, just leave it be.

I basically put I have been living with her for a year in May 2017. I meant may 2018. Is this misrepresentation and should I correct it? The next sentence said I been on a lease with her since May 2017
