PGWP Help Please

[sugar_brioche]

Hello!

I recently graduated and upon starting my PGWP application, I stumbled upon some questions on how to fill certain parts of the IMM5710 form:

1. In the “national identity document” the form asks for a document number, as well as expiry and expedition dates. I’m Mexican, and as far as I understand, the national ID would be the INE, which does not provide full dates or document number. Should I just tick “no” for this section then?

2. In the “coming into Canada” section, when asked to state the date and place of first entry into Canada, I’m not sure what to write as my situation is very specific. I first came to Canada to finish high school in Vancouver (with a different passport and study permit than my current ones) but later came back to do my post-secondary studies in Ontario (current passport and study permit). Should I use the very first date of when I arrived to Canada (in Vancouver) or the first time I came back with my post-secondary study permit? Particularly I’m concerned that the officer reviewing the application might be confused if I state I came through Vancouver since the passport I’m attaching in the documents does not have those stamps (they’re in my old passport) should i just attach both passports and both study permits?

Any help or insight into the matter will be very appreciated
Thanks.

I don’t know how to answer your 1st question, but for the 2nd:

Write the information of your earliest entry (when you came to finish high school in vancouver). Then write the document number on the second column beside that. That is your first entry to Canada. VO will be able to trace your travel to Canada history. They only need a point of reference.

HTH!

1. Yes, that will be your INE. If no expiry date, a fictitious date can be used to validate the form and edit by and place initial... immigration are aware with INE not having expiry date, or else you can include a summary note

2. your first entry to Canada regardless you are using different passport number, they have database containing your immigration history in C N

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer

1. Should I include this summary note explaining the situation in the “explanation letter”? Also, should I attach my actual INE in the explanation letter? I was unsure of whether or not to include it since it is in Spanish and the form asks for all documents to be either in English or French.

2. Should I also include my previous passport (maybe in the explanation letter as supporting document?) so that the officer gets to see the previous stamp from the first time I got to Canada?


Thanks you so much, your explanations have been a great help

Hello! Thanks for answering! So, if I write the date I first came (for high school) should I also include the previous passport that has those stamps somewhere in the application? Maybe in the explanation letter as support document?

Many thanks again

No need to attach previous passport. IRCC would be able to check your old visit through the old document number.

Best wishes to your application!

Yes, there is no harm to include copy of your INE and old passport with stamps if you wish to with your explanation letter. that will clear any doubt if officer has and speed up if officer wants to make any reference. although he can do that, as they have all history of your immi
