misrepresentation

[thurailight]

I have noticed that a lot of applicants have had trouble with 'misrepresentation' during visa applications.  My concern is similar.  My spouse's application for permanent application was refused due to 'misrepresentation' in 2005.  She has never had any criminal conviction for any matter.  This followed a period of inadmisability to Canada of 2 years.  This period has expired.  Now I am applying for work permit and would like my spouse to accompany me.  Could this matter of misrepresentation earlier further affect my new application?
I believe that the time of 'punishment' has been completed, the sentenced served, and thus, there should  be no further discussion of the matter at this stage.  It should not affect the new application.
What are your thought?

I was failed in sponsoring my spouse with misrepresentation fault as well. I didn't know that there's any 'punishment' time??? for 2 years? Could you please advise if there is any document/official site stating so?? Does it mean that I can file another application (like you're gonna do) after 2 years?

ps. btw, my misrepresentation was I didn't declare my spouse when landed. I'm not sure it makes any difference if yours' not the same
