Hello,
In all my previous temporary applications (two spousal OWPs and one TRV) I answered "No" to the military service question because I thought a one-month basic training under Uzbekistan's Mobilization Conscription Reserve (2015, physical training only, no rank recorded, deregistered 2016) did not qualify as "military service".
In the TRV application IRCC requested military documents in October 2025. I submitted LOE + IMM 5546 + contract + Military ID + translations. After that I withdrew the TRV to avoid any issues and disclose everything in PR.
Now my wife is submitting Express Entry PNP PR and I am the accompanying spouse. I plan to disclose the same training with the same documents and a neutral LOE explaining that at the time I understood the question as referring to regular compulsory or ongoing service.
Has anyone done something similar?

Has anyone done something similar?
- Answered "No" earlier for short-term/reserve training
- Disclosed in PR with LOE and docs
- What was the result (approval without issues, PFL, or something else)?
