Hi Steven, love the podcast and I have been following your Twitter for quite some time. Your podcast left me with some questions. About 10 years ago, when I was a minor, I was given a 221(g) and approved a few days later with the requested documents. Since then, my understanding was always that I was approved. So for all my applications with IRCC, I answered "No" and was approved for all of them. I have submitted my PR application for a few months now. For this application, I also answered "No" and disclosed in my LOE that this happened but my belief was that it's not a refusal. In this case, should I raise a CSE to change my question to "Yes" and disclose it again through the webform? If you can give me some pointers, that would be great. If not, still love the podcast and it has given me a lot of valuable information along the way.
@deanna okun-nachoff here. My opinion, from the discussion, is that the important thing is that you disclosed it in the LOE. That, imho, spares you a misrepresentation allegation, since you did not withhold any facts. I see no need to change the answer bc I think the correct answer is actually ambiguous.
@@borderlinespodcast Thank you Deanne, I decided to err on the safe side and just sent a web form stating that I want to change my answer to "Yes", and providing explanation on why there's a discrepancy between my current application and my previous applications,. If for some reason I get a PFL, or a misrepresentation allegation, I will definitely contact your firm for assistance.
