3rd application sent 18th April,2014 via British council AGAIN...this time,a high graded official put his neck down for me to personally supervise the insertion of my IELTS trf.
In addition,I wrote a strong worded letter to CIC telling them I have mandated british council to insert my IELTS since no second copy was available for me as par their procedures.
I also included a photocopy of my IELTS.
Till date,I never knew if British council inserted it or my cover letter worked with the photocopy of my IELTS.
3rd application was received in CIC on 24th April,2014......
I had to send my 3rd application knowing fully well that express entry song will take off by 1st May,2014....I blamed myself 2 days later (26th april,2014) when the new gazette said FSW will continue from 1st May,2014 again
Received PER's email on 13th May,2014 (20 calendar days from date of receipt in CIC)

Requested documents received in Accra on 11th November,2014.
Got passport requests on 19th November,2014 @ 12.45am
Sent the passports on 20th November,2014

Cheers.

I just called the number and the lady said they can't give me any information. And asked me to send an email instead.
I guess she just didn't want to help...

I just called too and she gave the same response of sending me the email to send all enquiries to.

@Samuel.eled, you are actually very right. I just checked my Canadian visitor-business visa and I found out that the UCI number is actually there after some FPA code. Interesting!

d) been refused refuge status, an immigration or permanent resident visa(including certificat de selection du Quebec(CSQ) or application to the Provincial Nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa to Canada or any other Country.

I applied for Federal Skill in Canada for 2011 and received Negative eligibility review

I had been refused Uk visa sometimes in 2012 but was reversed on appeal and my visa was granted which I did not really consider as refusal.

My spouse was also refused UK visa in 2013

Please, I need direction on how to update the information to avoid been classed as misrepresentation.

It's a general error experienced by applicants .....good thing you noticed in time.
I'm of the opinion to always scrutinize yourself before Accra get your fault.
Please use the CSE link below to notify Accra of your oversight telling them it was unintentional ...
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=accra
Also,send a mail to
accra.immigration@international.gc.ca
accra@international.gc.ca
Explain to them and let them know of your readiness to correct it if they ask you to fill another IMM 5669 form.
Please don't think you're jeopardizing your chance .....you're indeed doing the right thing.
Cheers.

OMG!!!!!!! I did the same thing oo. What do I do in my case as I haven't received PER yet? Anybody know of anyone who scaled through without correcting it. I wouldn't have realized my mistake if not for this post
