This refers to your application for a Canadian temporary resident visa
I have reviewed your application and documents you submitted in its support. Subsection 11(1)
of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act provides that a foreign national must, before
entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the
Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is
satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.
I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by section 16(1) of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which states:
16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for
the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and
documents that the officer reasonably requires.
Specifically, I have concerns that you have failed to disclose your adverse history with US
Immigration. Kindly provide details for the aforementioned
Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your
application for a temporary resident visa, you may be found to be inadmissible under Section
40(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. A finding of such inadmissibility
would render you inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years according to section
40(2)(a):
40(1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation
(a) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant
matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act
40(2) The following provisions govern subsection (1):
(a) The permanent resident or the foreign national continues to be inadmissible for
misrepresentation for a period of five years following, in the case of a determination outside
Canada, a final determination of inadmissibility under subsection (1) or, in the case of
determination in Canada, the date the removal order is enforced.
