Hi,
I am hoping that experts will be able to help me with my unique situation.
I started my studies in Canada in Sep 2016 but faced academic dismissal in May 2017. The summer term was designated for co-op which was also part of my program requirements. I received the dismissal after I started my internship. I had an option to make an appeal for re-instatement to the program. Without any delay, first of all I informed my employer of my situation and they allowed me continue. Since the decision was pending, I also didn't want to loose my internship credits if re-instated at that time. The re-instatement application took a long time before the process was figured out due to which I received a final decision of consideration at the end of Aug 2017 (I have an email) and was told that I can re-apply beginning Jan 2018 provided I completed a remedial plan to overcome my academic barriers. The department approved remedial plan included in-person - student performance improvement workshops and a academic writing class at the same university and an online class. All of this was completed by Nov 2017 after which I left for my home country. I re-applied with all the certificates associated with the remedial plan back to the program department, I was re-admitted to the program in Jan 2018 and completed all the degree requirements by Dec 2018. I have also received my PGWP for 3 years.
Now I have an invite under CEC and there is a place holder to upload transcripts which clearly states that I was not registered for Summer and Fall 2017 terms and also Academic dismissal and re-admit. I want to tell truth to IRCC because I have not done anything wrong but followed the instructions provided by the university. Although I have all the proofs, I am in dilemma as to what should be the appropriate way to put this forward, .
Should I mention this upfront in letter of explanation or should wait for IRCC to ask?
What additional proofs I will require to substantiate my claims above in addition to the existing documentation?
I also want to ensure that I did not do anything illegal.
I would really appreciate your advise and help.
