Mistaken misrepresentation

[Sweetbless]

Am worried for my husband as well as myself.
He applied for a Canadian work permit and he receive a letter from CIC stating that he answered NO to the question if he had ever been refuse a visa or work permit from Canada or any other country.
Honestly his immigration lawyer filled out the forms we looked over it but I guess we didn't do so clearly, he signed and agreed to the information on the form, is basically its all on his shoulders, it was a honest mistake.
CIC ask that he write a letter explaining why he said no and why was he refused.
My question is have anyone went through the same and what was the outcome? Do you think a letter stating to be a genuine mistake will be accepted by CIC?

This is regarded as misrepresentation.

Typically this results in the application being refused. However you should certainly respond and say this was an error/oversight. There is some small chance the application will still be approved. There is also some risk that IRCC may decide to not just refuse the application - but also apply the misrepresentation ban which is a five year ban from entering Canada.

Hi, i have read your situation and I'm going through the same. I responded NO to a question asking whether i have ever been refused refugee status or an immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa to Canada or any other country. In 2016 i was denied a US student visa. But when reading the question they mentioned all those visas but didn't mention Student visa which is in the category of non immigrants visa by USA. And a week ago i received a letter too and I'm given 30 days to explain and that in a risk of being banned for 5 years for misrepresentation. It's a spouse visa. Please tell me how your case ended
