Dear All,

Need some urgent advice

My parents applied for their visitor visa online for which they got an approval(i.e request for passport)

However in their form IMM5257,for question#9 'Country where applying' ,they filled that as 'Canada' instead of India(Country of Residence)

Please advise what is the best way to contact CIC back and help get this corrected.

I am not sure if they have to apply again or can this be corrected?

Kindly help asap!

thnx

But if they are approved then it shouldn't be an issue, they must have figured it out

I guess, Please go to online application and upload corrected form again. It may take process time bit more but at least you will be very clear with application.

Please try this option. Don't be panic.

Very Urgent -Need advice-Visitor visa application mistake

Hello..I need your help. I made an application for TRV Canada. Which was refused in September. After that I realised that I filled family info form wrongly. By mistake I wrote my husband's present Adress of Canada, my husband work in canadian company but my husband never visited Canada nor hold any Canada visa. I wrote his employers Adress. Now I want to correct this info for their further records. What should I do? Should I need to apply again with the cover letter? M thinkin to apply again. Besides that do I need to contact embassy about that error? Main purpose is to correct the error that I made so that it won't affect on our future applications.

M very worried about this. M so fool I did that mistake. Please guys help me!!

It is not a huge mistake. If however you want to correct, you can write cover letter and refill the forms and send them with your passports.

I did the same mistake for Question # 9 'Country where Applying'. My Current residence is USA.

They approved my application and asked me to send my passport.

Please can you tell me what is the solution for this problem.

Did it will create a problem.

Country where applying wrongly filled as canada instead of india and now the application is approved. But we do not know where to submit the passport now since as per question number 9 we have to submit it in canada which is obviously not possible
