Hi I was curious if this could be misrepresentation.

In my past extension for visitor status to become common law, it asked on the form if I had any college/post graduate training.

For this I clicked "No" but I kind of do. About one month before I sent in the extension, I started online classes, and I explained I started them in my letter of explanation, and explained I clicked "No" because it was asking for a completion date ( I did not complete any classes or anything )so I clicked "No" but in the letter I did clarify I was attending online courses. This extension got accepted

Now for my next extension upcoming, I am going to tick "Yes" for college/post graduate training, and put the completion date as my semester that I completed.

Could they look back at this and call out misrepresentation, or am I simply worrying to much? Thank you

I think it is ok. You provided a letter of explanation to clarify. It is also a minor thing. I would hope that IRCC has some common sense here and see this as no big deal.

You worried too much. Not every information that wrongfully write in application will land you a misrepresentation. The omitted/fault information has to be material to endeavor an officer to wrongfully take a move or make a decision to grant the benefit to you, then it will be a misrepresentation. Let's say for spousal sponsorship, the education background is a non essential assessment point, but it isn't a hard requirement for case approval, it doesn't matter you are a high school drop out or a PHD, you can be approved, as long as the relationship is genuine. So, although you have to provide as accurate information about you as possible, but if you made some mistake on something like that, it won't count as misrepresentation.
