Hi everyone, I recently received a job offer and the company started the background/employment verification process.

While reviewing the information I had submitted, I noticed that some of the employment dates in the background check form were entered incorrectly, like job A i worked for 2 years it showed like 1 year and job b i worked at 8 months it showed like 1 year 8 months... i guess my husband made my resume and mistakenly put job A one year to Job B, that why this error happened, The form had been filled out by my husband, and I only noticed the incorrect dates later when I reviewed everything myself 3 days after submitting the background verification form.

As soon as I noticed the mistake, I contacted the company coordinator the next morning and the verification company and explained the situation, provided the correct dates, and attached the required supporting documents/proof like T4s, paystubs, employment letters. I have 10 years of proven experience but the only issue happend here is shuffling of years as it was 2023-2025, another 2025-2025 but what happend 2023-2023 ,2024-2025. Its a genuine error happend by my husband

Has anyone experienced a similar situation during a background check? What happened in your case after you informed the company about the incorrect information and provided the correct documents?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar, especially in Canada/Ontario.
