Hi everyone,

So I just received my ita. So while going over the documents I looked over my current temporary resident application which I submitted three months ago and realized I made a mistake. I mentioned my Canada visa refusals but forgot to mention my USA study visa refusal(i got an approved visa 3 weeks later with another application). I also forgot to mention my first employment which was in 2013-2014 and that is showing up as unemployed. The visit visa application was submitted three months ago but it has been given no update on the status of processing.

Final decision

This is the current status of my application. So my question is, is it too late to notify the IRCC of my mistake? Would they penalize me for notifying them so late? I am stressed out since this was an honest mistake and I'm worried since I will add the correct details in my PR application this will cause an issue since they will look up my visit visa. I would truly appreciate any help or guidance.

It is not too late but the longer you wait then you can get into trouble if eligibility and background is completed.

Understood thankyou! and will they require extensive justification? What should I write?
Also how would I go about updating said information since I used the online portal for submission and it was a complete online application no forms.

Raise a webform with all dates of refusal and documentation.

You need to explain that you are sorry but didn’t declare past refusals with dates and reasons. Include any documentation you have.

I only have the application IDs associated with the refusal cases and dates would that be sufficient?
