Misrepresentation

Protecting Your Immigration Status When Misrepresentation Is Alleged

Misrepresentation in Canadian immigration can involve directly or indirectly providing false information or withholding a material fact that could cause an immigration officer to make an incorrect decision. Under section 40 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), a finding of misrepresentation can result in inadmissibility for five years, subject to the circumstances set out in the legislation.

Our immigration lawyers provide professional legal assistance for misrepresentation concerns, including procedural fairness letters, refused applications, inadmissibility findings, and situations involving inaccurate or incomplete information submitted by an applicant or representative. We carefully review your application history, documents, communications, and the alleged discrepancy to develop an appropriate legal strategy.
