I am a TFW here in Alberta since May 2011 where I was working a non-skilled job. I got a skilled job in February 2012 and can apply for CEC anytime. There are some concerns that are critical to me prior to filing.
When I filed my work visa in the Philippines last 2011, it was one of my sisters who did all my paperworks as I am not good at that. Unfortunately, I sign all documents without validating the information provided by my sister who died just recently. I went to Qatar last 2009 (February to July) which is less than 6 months only, under visit visa to visit my cousin and his family. I assisted him in running his restaurant without any remuneration. Now that I am checking all my 2011 papers so that my information will be consistent with the ones provided before, I'm surprised to see that my late sister put that Qatar info under Work/Employment History. Now I'm pretty worried because I have to put it as a visit info in my Supplementary Travels form. What do I do? Would it be misrepresentation? Is the database of Embassy Manila for Work Visa centralized with the CIC in Canada? If I explain it to CIC with a cover letter, they might think that I really work and reject my application? Then can check with Qatar and I did not have any record but just the visit.
Also we are 4 in our family I have 2 sisters (1 died) and, 1 brother. My sister is my biological sibling who is also here in Canada and just filed her PR application under CEC, too, she is a April applicant. While the brother is an adopted child but no papers, yet he was registered by our parents under their name. He is the son of my Mom's sister (Aunt). In my first application (work visa) in the Philippines, I declared my brother as a sibling, while my sister did not in her first application and PR application (she didn't like this brother because has been pain in the neck of the family and she did not know that he has a legal birth certificate). I'm confused with what to do. I had a fight with my sister about this because our applications might be linked together and we might get in trouble in this concern that we never thought would be a problem. Please guys if anyone can share thoughts on what I can do, because my permit is good until Feb. 2015 (I just renewed it). And if I file CEC then get rejected eventually (say April 2014) and penalized with 2 year ban for misrepresentation (hopefully not), do I have to leave the country right away or I can stay until my permit expires in 2015? Is it better for me to apply sooner or before the expiry of my permit? What can I do to correct this information that CIC wouldn't consider it as misrepresentation? Please guys help.
