FP Nov. 2023, never asked again.
Test completed Nov. 2023
Physical presence and language completed May 2025
Background and prohibition left
You've applied 3 years ago and IRCC cannot even hide behind the "other agencies" excuse. It's absolutely ludicrous. TBH, if there's an issue with your physical presence, they should have told you in 2024 and you would have reapplied since then and gotten the citizenship, and if they think your language proof isn't convincing or, worse, forged, well, a strong worded letter from IRCC should have been sent your way long ago too. I hated it, but I can understand that Canada takes their time ensuring that they're not giving the citizenship to a criminal, but in your case, I just don't get it. Gathering dust just isn't acceptable. I'm so sorry.
*** Urgent help required ***
I have received below letter from CIC. Application was filled July 2023.
I am going to talk with issuing authority to clarify on this and provide evidence. I have all the evidence which i have recevied from them via email also. Just want to get some guide line what should be the right approach.
Thanks in Advance.
Content of letter is below:
This letter refers to your application for Canadian citizenship under subsection 5(1) of the Citizenship Act.
Section 22 of the Citizenship Act prohibits a person from becoming a Canadian citizen if that person
[pursuant to paragraph 22(1)(e.1)] directly or indirectly misrepresents or withholds material
circumstances relating to a relevant matter, which induces or could induce an error in the
administration of this Act.
Please be advised that I have received a report, prepared by a citizenship officer, alleging that you are
subject to the above prohibition pursuant to paragraph 22(1)(e.1). Specifically, the allegation indicates that
you supplied the following evidence in the course of an application for citizenship:
A Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) certificate issued by ------
-------------with the following results :
Listening : 4 ; Speaking : 4 ; Reading : 4 ; Writing : 4
The Department has confirmed that the above noted evidence was not issued by----
-----------. By submitting this document, you could have induced an error in the administration of
the Citizenship Act thus indicating that you may be prohibited from being granted Canadian citizenship due
to misrepresentation.
It is my role to consider the allegation, render a decision as to whether these allegations are accurate, and
determine any subsequent action. Please be aware that a determination that misrepresentation has
occurred will result in the refusal of your citizenship application and the imposition of a five-year prohibition
period during which any subsequent citizenship applications from you will be refused.
I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to these allegations. You have 30 days from the
date of this letter to submit information that you would like considered and relevant evidence that refutes the
allegation of misrepresentation. Please respond using the address at the bottom of this letter or the following

@blueeye2019 please talk to a lawyer.
IRCC thinks you sent a fake language proof. Either you did and you're in deep shit and it's probably worth asking a lawyer what your current options are, or it's a genuine proof and a lawyer can help you navigate this.

Thanks for the reply.
I have just spoken with the issuing authority and they are shocked as well and said to me no one checked with them. They checked their record and its correct nothing is fake there. They asked me to provide IRCC letter so they can help me in this with whatever is required from them. Just trying to understand from seniors what documentation i should ask the organization to give to me?
IRCC is a mess, sorry you are going through this shit with them. I highly encourage you to contact a lawyer, you don't need to make any mistake that can put you in troubles that can last years. You have been already waiting for long time. Good luck, and do keep us posted.
is your file stuck at background check or Language physical and probation.
The best way is to ask lawyer draft a letter submit all the proof of originality include the test confirmation email, the result confirmation email, the official language result copy, the confirmation from the testing organization about result that it’s genuine. In letter with the help of lawyer write whole scenario when you book, when you give when result arrived, the official copy and confirmation from organization that it’s genuine. Which will be solid proof of genuiness of result also ask in letter for reconsideration with facts that you provided
I suppose that you need some signed letter from that institute saying that you passed your langage exam with this score on that date and that the document sent to IRCC is indeed the one they delivered you. But honestly , speak with a lawyer. Maybe it's overkill, but you wanna make sure you avoid misrepresentation. They'll know better than random people on the internet (myself included!). Good luck.
The best case
Take in written from authority from where your test results are that it’s genuine on there letter head with sign and number to contact to verify
Write a letter explain everything, the day you start practice, the day you give exam, result email, confirmation email, actual result copy. Explain them you did not misrepresent yourself. At the end of Letter says please see below letter from authority that it’s Orignal and contact person name to verify. Make them all one document.
If you have lawyer go through with home with letter. Kind of write whole story from beginning to end for your language preparation when you start when you study when you give test when you recieve result. Every detail possible even the slightest one and ask them to reconsider
Take your time, read through it multiple time, if you do not have lawyer add a representative first as well with whom you are dealing with.
Do it very carefully.
It would be good if you have all proof
Thanks for your reply.
This was not a test. This was journey of 2 years. My wife started with clb2 moved to clb3 and clb4. She has to take atleast 6months of regular classes to clear one clb level. Also she did retail training after finishing clb4. And for retail training clb4 was a prerequisite. I am going to get all attendance record etc as well to provide all the evidence.
