1/24/2017 Topic: Mistake in my DOB from the CIC officer Moderator	Hello, Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us. You can find some helpful information on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the How do I correct an error on my immigration document? section. Here is an excerpt, If there is an error on your immigration document: complete a Request to Amend Record of Landing, Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Valid Temporary Resident Documents form, and send it to the Operations Support Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. An amendment will only be made if your document does not match the personal information in your entry passport. I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation. ===== Anna Settlement.Org Content and Information/Referral Specialist, CIRS Settlement.Org

1/31/2017 Topic: My Daughter May Have ADD - Where Do I Start? Moderator	Hello, Thank you for sharing our situation and question with us. You may be able to find some helpful information on the People for Education website. You stated that you lost your family doctor. The ChildReach website suggests, Who do I go to if I suspect my child may have ADHD? A visit to your family doctor is the first step. He/she will discuss your concerns and determine if a referral to a Paediatrician or Psychologist is needed. Alternatively, talk to your child’s teacher. School boards do have psychologists on staff although the wait time may be lengthy. You may want to speak to the school board of the area you are living in to find out what their procedures are in this situation. I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation. ===== Anna Settlement.Org Content and Information/Referral Specialist, CIRS Settlement.Org
