Hoping someone can help...

I am currently in Canada on a IEC visa and I'm trying to submit an application to change my status to that of a visitor so that I can stay and travel for a month. I have filled out the application form (IMM5708) but when I try and upload it to myCIC account I get this error message...

*Error Description:
Your status expiry date in the answer you provided previously does not correspond to the Restoration in your form. Modify your answers or the value in your form.*

I've checked the form over and over again and I can't see for the life of me see where I have gone wrong...

Has anyone encountered this and offer me some advice? I've tried finding answers on the government website but it's impossible - I need urgent help as I have to submit the application ASAP (ideally tonight/tomorrow morning).

Thanks in advance,
Becs

This is due to giving different dates in the principal IMM (the one with the bar codes) and the checklist that was first created with the wizard. Seems the date you entered in the wizard for "status expiry date" does not match with what you put in the form.

Check them carefully, this error is hard to spot and very frustrating.
