Misrepresentation Allegations Defense

Misrepresentation in Immigration Applications – Defending Your Status

Allegations of misrepresentation can have serious legal consequences, including a five-year ban from entering Canada, application refusals, and possible removal proceedings. At KR Law Firm, we provide strategic defense for individuals facing misrepresentation allegations, ensuring that your case is presented fairly and accurately.

What is Immigration Misrepresentation?

Misrepresentation occurs when false or misleading information is provided in an immigration application, or when key details are omitted. Common examples include:

• Falsifying documents: Providing false employment records, forged education credentials, or altered financial statements.
• Omitting material facts: Failing to disclose previous visa refusals, inadmissibility issues, or criminal records.
• Providing incorrect answers: Mistakenly entering inaccurate details on application forms.
• Misrepresenting family relationships: Providing incorrect information about sponsorship or marital status.

Both intentional and unintentional misrepresentation can lead to severe immigration penalties, making it crucial to address allegations promptly.

• Five-Year Ban: Prohibition from applying for Canadian immigration for five years.
• Application Refusal: Rejection of current visa, permanent residence, or citizenship applications.
• Loss of Immigration Status: Permanent residents may lose their status and face removal proceedings.
