Hi
I lived in Seoul for 4 years, but I never mentioned in my application form that I live there. I did not have any problem getting PR in Canada. Now I am in canada.
I doubt whether Chelidio can afford to mislead CIC since according to him:
I stayed . . . and worked on my university studies.
This means that when he completes his
Background Declaration form, he has to provide the name of the university where he completed his studies and for how long plus his university diploma from the South Korean university.
Moreso, in Chelidio's good conscience, he would have to sign the declaration attesting among other things that
"[he] understands that any false statements or concealments of a material fact may result in my exclusion from Canada and may be grounds for my prosecution or removal."An applicant may choose to conceal a material fact in order to avoid the rigorous processes involved in making such material fact known from the very beginning. It is not worth it to take such a chance because no one knows what the future holds, and if found out, the applicant will still be removed to include possible revokation of citizenship or imprisonment.
A case in point will be the German-born Naturalized U.S. citizens who have had their citizenship revoked by the U.S. government or sent to prison after so many years, for having taken part in past activities that were dehumanizing. Some of these men were found out when they were in their eighties.
Or, would you still advise Chelidio to do otherwise? Anyway, Chelidio knows the answer to that.
