Wrong name on IMM1295: wait or reaply

[LeoCC]

I applied yesterday for an LMIA-exempt work permit from outside Canada.

I uploaded the wrong IMM1295 form. I wrote my last name next to my name on the given name cell, so my name is now wrong, with the last name repeated. The biometric instruction letter was issued with the wrong information.

I submitted the corrected IMM1295 via the IRCC web form under the “add a document to your application” option.

How long will it take to fix this and get a new biometric letter? Is it faster if I request a withdrawal and then make a new application?

I need the visa as soon as possible, so I would appreciate advice on what to do.

Thank you

CNC machining plays a key role in modern manufacturing by producing highly precise and complex components. It is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial production for consistent and reliable output. Many industries rely on CNC Machining Services for high precision parts and consistent quality in mass production. This process ensures efficiency, reduced waste, and improved accuracy compared to traditional machining methods. Overall, it supports modern engineering needs by delivering durable and precisely engineered components.

You did the right thing by submitting the corrected form through the IRCC web form. Usually, IRCC will attach it to your file and review it during processing, which can take a few days to a few weeks. A small name error like that often doesn’t stop you from using the current biometric letter, as long as your passport details match closely. Withdrawing and reapplying is not faster and can actually delay things more, so it’s better to wait for IRCC to process the correction and update your application.
