My application is in progress and have been stuck with security clearance for awhile. Today I decided to check my application that I submitted (I have a copy of it downloaded on my laptop) and I noticed that I have understood question #13 wrong and I didn't mentioned the countries that I visit (like Schengen visa/student visa), I only mentioned the country of citizenship! and THIS explain why I'm stuck with Security Clearance/Background check.
The question is: **Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?**
Is there anything I can do to solve it. Do I have to submit IRCC form with explanation letter or call IRCC directly or better just wait and do nothing.

If I were you, I would let IRCC know immediately that I made a mistake (due to misunderstanding of the question) and provide the missed out details. I would not choose the "do nothing" option.

Opinion is divided on this - my personal belief is that IRCC want to know if you had the right to 'reside' in a country - ie resident / student which would allow you to earn a living in that country, but not a tourist which does not have right to work/ reside in a country. It is unlikely your Security Clearance is held up because you did not declare a tourist visa.

Hi, sorry for the late replay. Yes, I did submitted the webform. I don't think it caused any issues, maybe a little bit of delay! my file was closed in June 2023.
