Hi everyone,
After asking a reference letter to my previous employer (University where I did my PhD and first postdoc), he told me that I was hired as a postdoc in April although I passed my exam in January. Obviously there was some administrative things on going and that is why I was only hired as such in April. In the meantime, I was still paid but still had the PhD student status. The problem is that I totally forgot about that and when filling my express entry profile, I entered that I started my postdoc in February. Now I'm really upset to myself
In the end without these two months of employment (february and March) I will still have the same score, i.e I will still get the points for the 1 or 2 years foreign experience.
However I am a little bit afraid that they could refuse my application for misrepresentation (although it is not such a huge deal, but still wrong information).
I can modify the info before I upload the documents but I am still wondering if they will not check point by point everything I entered in my initial express entry profile, or if they will just see that I still fall within the points.
I am thinking of withdrawing my profile to re-create a new one. Or should I just try and write a letter of explanation while uploading the letter from my employer?
If you have any advice it would be great!
Many many thanks!
