Or it's better to prepare a convincing LOE explaining about the course is just a holiday / vacation course which is not leading to a diploma certificate.
I understand its like a training course and not a degree -YES as an applicant I am not claiming points but I covered my gap with a training course I never did and to add I mentioned it while applying for the student visa and now I am applying for PR which is considered with higher significance than is given for a student permit. I hope
@Bacelor you understand what I meant here. Assume we are the PR applicant and we did this and consider the situation knowing what IRCC will be doing about the file.
We all wish all applicants be successful in this venture and everything goes smooth.
If the one year course mentioned had been put on the student permit file with details of the awarding institution and if the institution has an online presence there could be "chances" of a background check. it's a 50/50 game. we either survive or we get caught. but let's hope for the best.
An individual's file will be maintained from the date that individual's records reached IRCC. When applying for citizenship everything right from the start could be checked. It's their discretion.
The background check is done before landing and IRCC still continues to check on the individual.
one of the VIP members quoted- "Even though CSIS is a professional agency that is tasked with the security screening of prospective immigrants, it does not stop its activities there. Even after an applicant is granted PR status, CSIS continues to monitor his activities, as another security screening is done when the PR applies for citizenship. CSIS, from the time someone applies to enter Canada until long after they have citizenship is involved in surveilling, gathering information, creating files, developing profiles, writing and passing on secret reports. There have been frequent complaints about general harassment, and also about the specific behaviour of CSIS. CSIS agents have been known to show up at an individual’s door late at night. As SIRC reports indicate, CSIS agents regularly fail to inform the individual of their right to have an attorney present. "
