Permanent Card Renewal - Made a typo

Hi,
I applied for PR card renewal Nov 15 and have heard nothing from CIC.
Two questions.
1. I had to list around 35 trips for the last 5 years and now cross checking the dates for my citizenship application, I realized that I made two typos (didn't list one trip for 4 days by mistake and another trip that lasted 6 days, but for some reason I put the incorrect return date which is two months later - it is a typo).
In total, I am still well within 1095 max days out of the country requirement (only 585 days out of the country in the last five years and I counted every single exit and entry day, so the online calculator shows even less days that this).
What should I do about these typos?
Should I send a correction letter to explain these typos or just leave it since I am within the requirement?
Will this explanation letter delay the process even further?
Anyone has experience with this?
2. Now I am worried about processing times in general which seem to be a lot longer than ~71 days indicated on the site. CIC hasn't even opened my file yet. What are typical processing times for PR renewal?
My card expires in July but I have a lot of travelling planned already around the summer and September 2018.
Thanks very much |

New Age for Dependents and Income

Hi,
If I win the lottery to sponsor my parents next year, must I include my 21 year old brother as part of family size count for income requirements?
I really can't include him because:
1. if I include him, I don't qualify with income for anyone in my family because I am already at 6 people with other family members and the only person filing taxes in Canada
2. he is already in Canada finishing up his degree and working for a year on a work visa and can apply for PR by himself later (which we hope will be faster processing time anyways)
Do you know what would qualify him as a non dependent child so we don't include him?
If he intends to be common law with someone next year, does it qualify for being non-dependent child?
Any guesses when documents will be due (he is turning 22 in July), so if I could apply after his birthday.... Any other thoughts?
Thanks for any help! |
