Hi everyone,

Posting this for my wife. She has 10+ years of experience working in IT in a corporate environment.

Recently, she has been trying to move into management/leadership roles and even got some good opportunities. However, she wasn’t able to convert them.

After discussing and reflecting on it, we feel the main gap may be communication skills. She is quite good technically and can explain technical issues well over emails/documentation, but when it comes to presentations, stakeholder management, influencing decisions, client interactions, or speaking confidently in meetings, the gap becomes noticeable.

We are looking for good platforms, apps, courses, or training programs that can help improve:

Presentation skills

Executive communication

Stakeholder management

Client conversations

Confidence in speaking/persuasion

Leadership communication

Would appreciate any recommendations, especially from people who made a similar transition from technical roles to management.

Hello Folks.

Asking for my sister

Is there a way we can download the IMM forms submitted during the original PR application submitted 5 years ago. Looks like the ATIP is already submitted but never got a response from 6 months.

And past GCMS notes don't have info on personal history

I don't know if this sounds dumb. But this is for my siblings family.

I am seeking a consultation regarding a potential misrepresentation issue in my siblings Canadian PR application. Here are the details:

PR APPLICATION:

They applied for PR under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) stream via Express Entry

ITA received and application submitted on May 6-7, 2020.

Province of destination: Ontario (Toronto)

-her husband is the sole principal applicant — his wife was added as an accompanying dependent spouse after I received my ITA

THE ISSUE:

His wife's IMM5669 (Schedule A Background Declaration) listed her as Homemaker/Unemployed from May 2018 to the date of submission (May 2020)

In reality, she began working as a probationary employee at a company in December 2019

They omitted this because she was told she would likely be laid off and would not receive an experience letter as a probationary employee

The omitted employment period is approximately December 2019 to May 2020 — roughly 5 months

Her employment was NOT used for any CRS points and she was not the basis of my ITA in any way

CURRENT SITUATION (2026):

They are now approaching PR card renewal

His wife is still employed at the SAME company where she started in December 2019 — now over 5 years of continuous employment

They obtained GCMS notes (Request A-2021-10216, dated December 2021) and confirmed that the Misrepresentation assessment field is blank — no officer ever flagged this

No procedural fairness letter was ever received

MY CONCERNS:

Does this constitute material or non-material misrepresentation under IRPA s.40?

What is the exposure at PR card renewal?

What is the exposure when my subling applies for citizenship — given her 5+ year employment record at the same company will be clearly visible?

Should we consider voluntary disclosure, and would that help or hurt us?

I would appreciate your assessment of our risk and recommended strategy going forward. Please let me know your consultation fees and availability.

Thank you.
