If you received a PFL, didn’t respond and then received a ban there is not much you can do. You can hire a Canadian immigration lawyer to take it to federal court but it will costs $10k+ and chances of success are low. Even if you did “win” it just means you don’t have a 5 year ban. Still need to reapply for a study permit. Hiring a consultant is never a good idea. You are responsible for what is submitted as you sign off on the application. IRCC is very clear that it is up to you to know what your consultant submits.

When was the date of the ban? If you don’t hire a lawyer and get an opinion on whether it can be fought in federal court then you wait 5 years and try again.

This is a difficult situation. Unfortunately you are held responsible for the information in your application, even if an agent applies on your behalf. If you want to try to overturn the ban, your only option at this point is to hire an immigration lawyer in Canada to try to argue this case for you.

What is lower service fees? Start contacting Canadian immigration lawyers to see if you can negotiate or ask for a payment plan. Lawyers charge hundreds of dollars per hour. Moderators of this forum are immigration lawyers - click on the top of the page - Cohen Immigration
