Hello there!

btw: I'm already studying in Canada, it has been almost a year since I started/got my SP approved.

When I applied for my study permit to come to Canada, I didn’t include one of the nationalities I held at the time because I thought it wasn’t relevant and wouldn’t affect my application, i was dumb, and from that standpoint, i saw that this passport didn't add anything to the appliction since I used my main 2 other passports.
This nationality was obtained through my parents, and I did mention their country of origin in the application. (theyre from that country btw), I was honest about everything else and provided proof for all other nationalities, like the one from my birth country, the nationality of the country i studied in, and all detailed information about everything, with proof... but just that one passport that I decided to not include, is probably gonna ruin everything because they obviously can't tell what my true intentions are.

Now I’m worried that not including that nationality might be seen as a misrepresentation later on if I try to extend my stay or apply for permanent residency. I’m also concerned that if I contact immigration authorities to explain, it might cause problems or even risk deportation, despite my intention to be honest.
This really sucks, and it is totally my fault! Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it, and what was the outcome

Thanks in advance!

Have you already received a decision on your study permit ?
