Hello everybody,

I am writing for the first time here because I am very nervous. I applied for a post-graduate work permit which was granted last September, and was now getting ready to apply for PR via the Quebec selection program. However, I noticed when filling out the personal history section of the Background Info form that I had made an error on my original work permit application in terms of the dates (end/start) of some of my part-time jobs during my degree.

1. Would submitting an LOE with details with my PR application be sufficient?
2. Should I be worried? I can't sleep anymore because of this... This kills me.

Thanks everyone, have a blessed day

Did you work without permission, or work more hours than 20? Or was this simply a case of saying you worked from 19 Aug to 20 Sep when actually you worked from 21 Aug to 21 Sep, but all other rules were followed?

No, more like "I worked at X place as a cashier from time month A to month B" when it was "month C to month D" instead (discrepancy of 1-2 months in some places, had a lot of part-time jobs to help me pay living costs here).
I will correct the dates in my background declaration for PR, but the months may not match the info I wrote for the work permit I have now.
Edit: never illegally or beyond the maximum hours per term btw.

As long as it was never illegal/exceeding the hours allowed, this won't be misrepresentation. Yes, you need to correct it now. Explain the circumstances in a letter.

Thanks so much. I'm feeling much calmer to have your second opinion on the matter.
