How can I correct an error in my immigration application?

Discovering an error in your immigration application after submission is common. Fortunately, certain mistakes can be corrected, but it’s important to act quickly and carefully.

Steps to correct an error in your immigration application:

  • Identify the type of error: Is it minor (e.g., a typo) or major (e.g., inaccurate work history or status)?
  • Contact IRCC: Use the IRCC Web form to explain the error and request corrections for online applications.
  • Provide supporting documents: Attach copies of your passport, explanation letter, or any relevant evidence.
  • Monitor your online account: IRCC may request clarification or update your file directly.
  • Avoid inconsistencies: Uncorrected errors can delay processing or lead to refusal or misrepresentation concerns.
