Welcome back to another episode of the Canadian immigration podcast. I am your host, Mark Holthe, and I'm here once again with my co host, Alicia, back when Bahari, how are you? Alicia,
Alicia Backman-Beharry 0:13
I'm doing all right, Mark, and this seems to be a topic that comes up frequently, and especially now with so many things changing in people's lives. And you know, work permits are coming to a close, and all of a sudden, maybe job situations are changing, or maybe people are getting married or having kids or something else makes them realize that, wait a minute, when I first did my Express Entry profile, I didn't realize that
Mark Holthe 0:40
exactly. And we get this a lot when people come to retain us to assist with, you know, doing a final review of their Express Entry application, or assisting them after they've gotten an ITA. And then after looking at a few things, we realize, oh, wait a minute, there is a mistake. So this episode is all about changes that you make to your eapr After you receive your invitation to apply. So today, what we're going to cover is basically these topics. So we're going to do a little introduction on what the big deal is, problems that can occur when you're changing that information post ITA, some of the most common changes that people make and their consequences. How to make the changes the right way, how to protect yourself from a refusal or misrepresentation, or at least do as good a job as you can to protect yourself against those things. And then just some final recommendations that we're going to share. So if we connect off here at the very beginning, Alicia, why don't we start with this whole introduction. What is this all about? So in terms of this, a 11.2 assessment, I guess is a good place for us to start. And if I share my screen, for those of you who are at home or watching the actual video, this here is the this is the most important page when you're looking for information on the consequences of changes from your profile information to your eapr Post ITA,
Alicia Backman-Beharry 2:09
and this is a super useful link. And now that IRCC has redesigned their web page, there are a few different ways to try to find that link. There's a little bit of a different incarnation of that link, and they have updated it after they did the category specific draws. So when we're looking at a 11.2 we're talking about the act, we're talking about completeness, and we're talking about what constitutes a complete application in the context of an Express Entry application. And this is super critical, because if somebody does not have a complete application. And there are different time periods that this is important to look at. So at the time that somebody is getting an ITA, and at the time that they are submitting their eipr, and sometimes all the way up until a decision, so Mark's pulling up, this is the actual Section of the Act. And so you can't actually, an officer cannot actually finalize a permanent residence application if it didn't meet the criteria in the first place for eligibility and the points of the class that the person was applying for in the first place. And so we know that in express entry there are a number of moving parts. So for example, under Federal Skilled Worker, not only do you have to be able to show you still meet those CRS scores, but you also still need to show that you meet those eligibility criteria that 67 pass 67 point pass mark. So sometimes people think, Oh, hey, I got an invitation to apply. I'm golden. Everything's locked. I'm fine. I don't need to worry about it, and I can just continue and change things after I get my ITA, submit my eapr, and it'll be fine. And that is definitely not the case, because it's important that all those eligibility criteria and the minimum CRS cut off for the invitation under which you were drawn. That you are still meeting those points, especially if you realize that something has changed, and everywhere it says you have a positive obligation to notify IRCC if there is a material change in circumstances, or also if you notice there's an error,
Mark Holthe 4:18
right? And the reality is, if someone makes those changes, and we'll talk about this in more with more specific detail in a little bit, but if someone makes a change, and that does affect those things that Alicia talked about, you're you no longer would meet the round of invitation score in which you were drawn, or you failed to meet the eligibility, then two things can happen. One, which is probably, well, I guess there's three things that could happen. Sometimes officers are unbelievably kind in this current world of really, really cruel decision making, some miraculous occasions occur where individuals are given a procedural fairness letter. They're given an opportunity to respond to something. Officer has a concern with sometimes it's just a request for information. Other times it's more of a formal procedural fairness letter, because they're finding that there might be some misrepresentation in your application, and the consequences are much more severe, but more often than not, they refuse the application as being either incomplete or they refuse it on its merits, saying that you no longer meet the requirements of the act, and therefore you're no longer eligible to have your application continue processing. And so those are the things that we often want to try to avoid as much as possible. And there are Alicia, a lot of things that we see happening over and over and over with respect to changes people make. And I think the one that I want to start with more than any other, as we're going through our little list of to do's here, one of the most common areas that I see problems is with respect to proving work experience and the list alone. Yeah, go ahead. I want
Alicia Backman-Beharry 6:03
to just re emphasize what you just said a few minutes ago, because people hopefully will understand, if nothing else, that when we're talking about completeness checks, just like Mark said, there are a sliding scale of bad things that can happen if you don't comply. So one of them is all right. Maybe they give you a second chance. Maybe they send you a little request for additional information and ADR, the next thing is, maybe they say we were just going to completely send that application back and it's incomplete. And if they do that, the problem is they never assess the application or refused it on its merits, and so it's really difficult to judicially review, and we know that in Express Entry, there is no second chance. There's no appeal body. And so the only thing you could do is potentially a judicial review. It's really hard to judicially review a refusal to take your application because they say it's not complete. The next thing that could happen is just like Mark said. So maybe they say it's a complete application, but they refuse it on its merits. They say you didn't prove the work history, and that's what we're going to talk about next. But then the worst thing, and this is like the sliding scale of negative consequences, is they can say, maybe we're going to ask for additional information under a procedural fairness letter, and when you've really dug yourself kind of in, and you've given us all the evidence we need, we can say that you have actually misrepresented on your application, and that is the worst, because then you are going to have a five year bar for misrepresentation, and you are inadmissible, and your family members are inadmissible. So this is why what we're talking about today really, really matters.
Mark Holthe 7:43
Yeah, and I think lots of times, you know, people deal with these issues in a number of different ways, but when you're looking at work experience, if we start with work experience, one of the first and obvious issues that we run into is people select the wrong NOC code, so when they're submitting their profile, they choose a knock that they think is right. Or there's so many different variations of how people get this wrong. Sometimes they're on an employer specific work permit, and whoever helped them to get the work permit the beginning chose the wrong Knock Code, which happens a lot I find with large institutional employers who maybe the representatives, the lawyers or the consultants who's working for the company, don't spend a lot of time really digging deep into the job duties, because, well, it's not really that big of a deal. And then a Knock Code is selected. And then when we start to look at it a little bit more closely, then we realize, well, yeah, but this one over here is actually a better fit. Well, then what do you do? You have to change the Knock Code on the work permit, or, you know, the you run the risk of using the one that's on the work permit right now, and then an IRCC officer says, hey, you've chosen the wrong knock. So these are, you know, that's one of the issues that I see. So Alicia, the question is, and I get this a lot, can you change your Knock Code after you get your ITA and you're getting ready to submit your eapr, so if you, if you identify that it's wrong, can you make a change
Alicia Backman-Beharry 9:09
and and this is where we have the the lawyerly answer of it depends. And the reason that it depends is, how significant is that change? Just like you said, Mark, were you already working in Canada on a closed work permit, a work permit that specifies your job title or job duties or your location of work and your employer, and did that employer put in either an LMIA application to support that job or a closed international mobility program employer portal offer that would have determined specifically what's the knock and what are the job duties, because if they did, you're locked in. And just like you said, and this is especially the case for inter company transfers, if you try to change something there, there is a high degree of risk that you are either working without authorization, or they're going to say. A minute you're mis wrapping on your Express Entry application. So can you change it? Maybe it depends on what kind of work permit you have. If you are working in Canada, if you're not working in Canada, then you probably have quite a bit more leeway in terms of what you are putting in your profile, as long as you've confirmed that accurately with your employer. And I know a lot of cases people think, Oh, well, this is what I do. And then they go to get their employer reference letter, and the employer says, no, no, we have, like, a pay scale, and we have an HR system, and we have categorized you under a different Knock, and that's what it is, and we're not changing it. And then maybe you do have to think about changing your knock, but there's always risk, because now you are moving from what you put in your profile to a different knock or maybe describing your job duties differently. Or what happens if you put a certain number of hours in and you claim those because Express Entry profiles need you to put in those hours, and if those hours change significantly from a part time to a full time job, you know, there you could be risking misrep as well. So all these things, the context really matters.
Mark Holthe 11:08
Yeah, and like you said, Alicia at the beginning, this work experience area that we're discussing now could be a podcast all on its own. We wouldn't even need to talk about anything else, because the variations, and just the number of ways in which you can get this wrong and make mistakes is like there's no end to it. You know, one of the things we we know within the profile, you're not required to submit documents up front, so it's just the information that you put in. But in many cases, people enter the wrong title for their job, or they the reference letter that they get back from the employer shows that the company used a different name than the one that they listed in their profile. So these slight changes, you know, maybe like you indicated the person said they worked 40 hours, but the you know what, by the time they get the letter back from the employer, the employer, the employer says, Well, you work 32 hours. So each of these little changes are all things that people have to be aware of, and each of these different areas that we're identifying now, and the reason we're trying to pick some of the most common is to kind of key into your mind, oh, wait a minute, I should probably look into this. You know, I think I might have to make a change, and how do I address it? Well, some of the other areas that we see a lot Alicia are not maybe necessarily a change per se in moving from information in your profile to correcting it in the eapr. But there might be issues with you not having claimed the work history that you want the points for you may not have listed it in a previous application, so maybe you applied to study in Canada and you didn't include this work history, and now you want to include it for Express Entry. Well, that opens up, although it's not completely aligned with what we're talking about here, it's another major issue that can cause problems for people, and in the last podcast episode that we talked about and our last one that was just released, we did talk about reference letters and all the challenges associated with those. But it kind of blends in with this. Sometimes people, another big question people ask is, well, I'm I included all of my work history for the last 10 years, everything. I included my, you know, work experience that was tier four and five, people just assume, okay, well, it tells me to list it, so I do it and they do it. But in reality, you're not getting points for any work experience that is at a tier four or five level, you know, that's considered to be low skill. And also for your spouses, if you have an accompanying spouse, and you are listing work history for them, if they have foreign work experience, well, there's no points being gained for the foreign work experience. And so sometimes when we meet with people, they say, Oh, I can't get a reference letter for this company that I worked at 11 years ago. Well, once again, they're only going to look at work experience that's been within the last 10 years. So all of these myriad of different situations arise and and you know, this is something that we talk about a lot when, you know, when in the Express Entry accelerator course that I have in our master classes, and this is stuff we address all the time with our clients in our firm, but Alicia, when you have a situation where maybe you don't need the work history, or it's not helping or adding to your application in your profile, is it okay to remove that work history when you file your eapr? And I know I'm putting you on the spot here, because yes, it depends for sure. But what do you think?
Alicia Backman-Beharry 11:08
Yeah, so when I talk to my clients, I will say, all right, did you claim work history that is older than 10 years? Was low skilled or that is not giving you points? And if you did that in your Express Entry profile, and you're now doing your eapr, as long as you are meeting eligibility criteria for the category under which you were drawn so CEC, FSW, FST. And then maybe also a targeted draw, if you're looking at that, as long as you're meeting all those program criteria, then it's usually going to be your best case scenario to take that off of your claim to work history, because it's not giving you points anyways, and then really carefully outline what you did and why you did it in your letter of explanation, your client, loe, and say, Look, when I started this application, I didn't have counsel, I didn't understand. I'm not claiming points for it. I'm moving it all to my personal history, because this is the thing sometimes people worry, well, I have to disclose everything in my work history on an express entry profile. But it's not the same as like a work permit application or a study permit application, where it tells you to list all of your history for the last 10 years or since age 18. It's only the points that you're claiming, or only the work that you're claiming points for. And so if you properly explain all this, it might be okay to move forward, but just like you said, Mark, you know, when you're doing an express entry profile, especially if you've been in Canada for a number of years, you need to go back and cross reference all your prior applications to see what you've said, because you're exactly right if you never claimed this in the past, and now all of a sudden, you're saying, Oh yeah, I worked for five years before I came to Canada as a senior IT specialist, but you Never mentioned that when you came as a student, you're you're wading into the territory of possible misrepresentation, right?
Mark Holthe 16:26
And one of the reasons this surfaces, at least, that I found, is that someone is given one of these applicants, or maybe you out there bad advice when you're applying for your study permit, I've heard repeatedly, well, don't list that work history, because it's not really aligned with the study plan that we're putting in. So just don't list it. Or, Oh, you already have a master's degree. That's my personal favorite. Well, you know, you don't want to show that you've got too high of an education. Otherwise they'll say, Well, why are you coming to study in Canada? And you know, in a post graduate level credential when you already have a master's. And so they'll advise them not to say anything about that. And then, lo and behold, for Express Entry, that's a pretty darn important aspect. So then people are trying to add it in. So there is a quite a lengthy history of individuals who may have been committing a little bit of misrepresentation on the front end in order to get the study permit approved, or increase their chances of approval, who now are kind of going to get bit on the other side when they're trying to rectify or clear everything up. But the reality is, in this application, the one thing you're not going to do is continue to perpetuate that misrep And so you're going to fix it, and we'll get into some of the our strategies for dealing with these issues, but let's jump into a few more of the common ones that I see, and I know these are just designed to kind of get your thought process working. But you know, I see problems within educational credential assessments and language test results, both of these documents, they're not specifically required to be uploaded. Neither of them. When people submit their profile, they need to have the report number. They need to have the date that it was issued. And at times, people can key in the wrong information. They can just have a typo in it. And so then the you know, hopefully it's caught at the eapr stage, and then people have an opportunity to correct it. So I see that quite a bit. I also see documents expiring. So the ECAs are valid for five years. Language test results are valid for two years. Alicia, what do you do in circumstances where a person has received an ITA and they realize that those documents are going to be expiring before they submit their eapr. There are certain situations where some things are locked and it's okay after post ita like it's not going to affect your score. But in other cases, which is the vast majority of things, the important date is when you actually submit your eapr,
Alicia Backman-Beharry 18:58
yeah, yeah. And so making sure that, if you know that your language test results are going to expire, because those are the ones that are only valid for two years, that you are making sure that you've lined up another language test result. Because sometimes this happens where people have a profile and then all of a sudden they look and their profile no longer qualifies for minimum eligibility because their language tests have expired. So keep on top of those dates and make sure that you're taking another test so that if you've not received an invitation to apply, you go in, you update it, you put in your new language test scores and update your profile, retransmit it, make sure it's submitted.
Mark Holthe 19:33
And we tell you guys these things now so that you're not in that situation with expiring documents. We're trying to give you a heads up here to watch carefully and get them extended or renewed well in advance, so that there's no issues with running into this problem. So so that's, you know, the ECAs and language test reports and really anything that you might be relying upon, even police clearance certificates, you have to watch carefully, although you're not really disclosing anything. In your profile regarding a police clearance certificate, you still want to make sure that it's valid. And we've, I can't remember if we've done in our in our Express Entry, getting it right series. I don't think we've covered police clearance certificates yet. I can't remember we've done so many videos. But if not, we will definitely cover that. And within the the Express Entry accelerator course, we have a whole section on all of these documents. Module six is full of individual lessons that cover every single document that you have to upload. Okay, now to the one that's probably the most damaging for people when they get it wrong, and that's changes in marital status or family composition. So we know Alicia and why they created it this way. I've never been able to fully get an answer. But an individual who is who has a spouse, and they're included in the application, sometimes that can cause problems for them and cause their CR score to be lower if their spouse does not have the same equal level of human capital that the principal applicant does. So, in a way, it kind of punishes married or common law couples, because if a spouse doesn't have the same level of language or education or even Canadian work experience, there's up to 40 points swing that can happen if someone is applying as an individual applicant versus one with a spouse. So sometimes people will list their spouses non accompanying, so that they have the ability to get maximum points. But there's a whole, once again, a whole podcast on this topic, consequences. Well, what if the spouse is with you in Canada? Can you still list them as non accompanying if they're outside of Canada. Is there an issue listing them as non accompanying? And I'll just tackle that one off the top, and then we'll talk about some other issues. But never, ever. You guys, are you going to list your spouse as non accompanying if they're actually with you in Canada? So just right off the top, you're not going to do that unless there is a very, very good reason to explain that in a very short order, they were actually going to be returning back home, which I have a client who, genuinely, the spouse does have to go home because of elderly parents that are sick or one has passed away, and they have to go help care for their mother. And they're just not going to be able to come to Canada over the next year or two. And so they've decided, well, I may not be able to meet my PR, you know, the residency obligations of two years and every five year if I go forward with this. So I'll just hold off and then I can be sponsored at a later time. That's kind of the theory. But the real issue Alicia comes when someone lists a spouse as non accompanying at the profile stage, gets an ITA and then tries to add them after. So in the early days of express entry, you could actually do that and kind of game the system a little bit, and they wouldn't, you know, there would be no negative consequences. You could actually add the spouse after, but that's not the case now. So what happens in these situations? Alicia,
Alicia Backman-Beharry 23:00
so IRCC, just like we talked about, says that you have a positive obligation to notify them of a material change in circumstances. So definitely, if you are claiming that you were non accompanying, had a spouse that was non accompanying, and now all of a sudden they are accompanying, that is a material change in circumstances. Same thing with people who all of a sudden get married before they get their PR finalized, that is a material change in circumstances. If a baby is born, that's a material change in circumstances. So first of all, that person needs to notify IRCC. Really the only way to do so now is, is via the new web form, and then they need to provide proof. So it's basically like submitting a mini spousal sponsorship application. And not only that, if the person was invited under the Federal Skilled Worker class, and they have to prove settlement funds, it's going to change the number of applicants in the family group, and so they now need to meet settlement fund requirements. So the IRCC officer then has to basically reassess this application, and it's almost like reassessing a mini spousal and the same rules with regulation four and marriages of convenience apply. So if the officers of the opinion that this relationship was entered into, if it's a new relationship, if you haven't been married to this person throughout the time, then they can say, hey, wait a minute. Was this entered into primarily for the purposes of obtaining immigration status? And that is a super big problem. If, in the example that Mark was giving before you had been married to this person throughout the whole time, you didn't have them on on your EE profile stage, you're now adding them on at the last minute, then the officer is going to look at, are you still meeting the eligibility criteria for the category under which you were drawn and the minimum CRS cut off points for that round of invitations under which you got your ITA, and if the answer is no, you are going to no longer be eligible for that landing under PR because. You don't meet the minimum eligibility criteria or the cutoff points for your round of invitations. And it's
Mark Holthe 25:06
interesting Alicia, because we see sometimes this happening in a different world, when people are filing their Provincial Nominee applications, and they will have submitted their application and included their spouse, even potentially in the PNP application, but for their Express Entry profile, they've listed their spouses, non accompanying and I get a lot of questions from people who say, Well, can I make the change after and the reality is, maybe, like maybe in some cases provinces, we've gotten feedback from some provinces that said, well, we don't care if you change your profile. We've assessed you for the purposes of the nomination, and the nomination is focused on the principal applicant. And so then at that stage, we take an individual, for an individual client, we that, you know, will update the profile before they receive an ITA. And then, really, it's not an issue, because the spouse is now included before the it is granted. And and then away you go. But, but these are very, very, huh. These are very, very difficult situations to to address, because there is no blanket solution. And each individual, you have to be very, very careful that you just don't go online and you know, you go to a Reddit poster or wherever, Whatsapp group, and you're looking for information, and your situation matches what you appear to see in another another applicant, and you say, oh, okay, they did it. So there's no problem. For me, it doesn't work that way. And officers have a tremendous amount of discretion as to what they want to do, and you never want to leave any decision up to the discretion of the officer. Wherever possible, you want to try to make sure you've covered off every aspect of it, you've disclosed it, you've you've explained the situation and and it's addressed properly. When it comes to marital status, children can also be an issue. So if you have a child that's born, it depends on the situation, like if the child is born, obviously, before you get your your your invitation to apply, you want to include them as quickly as possible. But sometimes Alicia, the timing of these things is not well like it's not well timed for family realities. And sometimes you might, you know you have a spouse that's expecting and and then the baby is due and is born within that 60 day period. You know that you have to actually file the application. And so then you have to use carefully worded Eloise to address this. This the fact that you may not have the birth certificate, you may not have the passport back in time, and then it becomes a real challenge for people. And then after the eapr, once again, just like when you're adding a spouse, when you're adding a child, there's a whole bunch of other information that's requested, and it can delay the whole processing of the application, but in most cases, you're always going to want to go through that process. And if, if you do get married and after you get an ITA, or you do have a child after ITA, you absolutely must disclose them, ensure that they are IRCC is aware of them, that they are medically examined, and if they're, you know, if it's a spouse, that the police clearance certificates that and that criminality is assessed, because you could be forever barred from from sponsoring them later. Yeah,
Alicia Backman-Beharry 28:18
and this is regulation 117, sub nine, sub D, rearing its ugly head yet again, and so. And this is a whole other podcast, basically. But this is what happens when somebody thinks, Okay, I got my PR application as a principal applicant approved. Everything's fine, everything's submitted. Oh, and we had a baby, or maybe I got married after my eapr, but I don't want to tell immigration, I'll just land and then I'll try to sponsor my spouse. That is not possible, because what will happen is they will be barred because of regulation 117, sub nine, sub D, which says if you at the time of landing of the principal applicant, if you have a family member who was not disclosed and medically examined or examined for inadmissibility, then that person is forever barred from being considered a member of your family clause. And there is, there's no appeal for this. There is no way around this, and so, other than a judicial review if it was an administrative error, but it is your obligation to make sure that you disclose and have this person medically examined. And the other thing that tends to happen is, if you have a situation where you have ex spouses and non accompanying kids, and the ex spouse doesn't want to have that child medically examined because they don't want them to go to Canada, well, that, I mean, it's important for both parents to understand that they might be forever barred. So lots of variations here,
Mark Holthe 29:44
you bet, and that's one where we would advise you, if you're in any kind of a situation like that, that you do book a consult and connect with us so we can help you navigate your way through it. Now, Alicia, let's wrap up quickly here, or time is just about up with addressing and how to. Deal with these issues. So it's one thing to make the change to correct things, and you do in every case. If there's something that's not correct, you have an obligation to ensure that your application is true, complete and correct, and so you want to make those those corrections, but then the letter of explanation is always kind of the secret sauce when it comes to to smoothing these things over, because you need to explain what's happened, and you do it in a proactive way. That's how we always, always encourage our clients and the students of the Express Entry course. We always encourage them to do that, because when you're proactive, you really blunt the sharp edges of misrepresentation. So if you are telling an officer, look, there was an error or a mistake that occurred in my profile. I'm now correcting it in the eapr, and you lay it out for them. It is very, very unlikely that there's going to be allegations of misrepresentation in those circumstances. But do remember, and even if you go to the program delivery instructions, the ones that we showed you here on the website, we'll just jump back here and we'll have a link in the show notes. But if you go to the accessing the an electronic application on Section Eight, 11.2, and you go to these PDIS, you will see very quickly that they also reserve the right to find misrepresentation if you've put something in a profile that was not correct, because remember, you're testing when you click submitted that profile that everything is correct. So sometimes people will put in information that isn't true, just to buy time to get their profile in and then try to update it after before they get their ITA. Well, everything that you put in that profile is locked into the system, and officers can see the historical record of what was uploaded to the GCMS system within the IRCC secure account, so you have to be very, very careful with the information you're putting in there. So letters of explanation will help to explain any of those discrepancies and really take a significant step towards avoiding misrepresentation findings. And if you do those things correctly, you're going to be in a far better position than someone who just makes the change and doesn't say anything, because the last thing you want to do is leave it up to the officer to find an inconsistency and then draw a very negative inference, whereas if you are providing the explanation to the officer in advance, you're actually having an opportunity to frame how you want the Officer to understand the change that you made. So we're big, super big on being proactive and disclosing things up front. And when there's something ugly, boy, that's the first thing that I'm going to address in my letter of explanation, and I'm going to tackle it head on if it's an actual bigger mistake, and I won't talk about fraud or anything like that, but if it is akin to that, you're going to go out of your way to make sure that you're addressing it, you're explaining it as best you can. You're taking responsibility for it, and then ensuring that this information in the current application is 110%

correct well and and this is where Mark You and I often have really difficult conversations with people, because sometimes, sometimes disclosing it and doing an loe and writing everything up is still not going to save you from a potential misrepresentation finding, or if they think there is fraud involved, if you had a consultant maybe who submitted documents and you don't know what they were, you Have no idea, because they didn't get your consent before they filed that application, if you are walking into a situation of misrap then the difficult conversation is you may not be able to proceed forward with this invitation to apply. You may have to, you know, completely withdraw this application, fix things and start over again, and that might mean that you lose your chance at PR, but losing your chance at PR is probably better than being barred for five years. Is inadmissible, because maybe there is some way that you can fix it. But these are really tough conversations, and doing the right thing is usually hard.
