Is law applied equally in Canada

[complain7439]

Canadian minister who misrepresented her birth place indirectly appear to have been left off the hook instead of being stripped of her citizenship and removed from Canada.

Can others, under investigation, claim clemency for their own misrepresentations citing that no action has been taken in her case and she was forgiven?

Your should research what was the outcome of that student's litigation to have her citizenship restore; there is very little information as to what happened to her. If she lost her litigation though, even if she lost her citizenship, she would have reverted back to a PR because the misrepresentation occurred while she was accruing days as a PR towards citizenship (see "Status of a person post-revocation").

But as others have commented on your previously deleted post, no, you can not use Maryam Morsef's case as a legal precedent to be used as a blanket defense to your own misrepresentation. It is up to the prosecuting party to charge the suspected defendant with misrepresentation; if they chose not to, then it is assumed that they believed the charge would not have passed, or it was in the best interest for the country not to charge.

Cases are determined on their own merit. You can try, but ultimately the courts will decide. Not knowing the outcome of the investigation, I doubt there is much, if any benefit to what you are proposing. You should probably consult with a lawyer.

Not sure what happened to the previous post on this subject, maybe the moderator determined some comments were being made that broke the forum guidelines but anyway recommendation is same consult a lawyer as you are not going to get any professional advice here.

There are degrees of misrepresentation and is for the courts to decide whether intentional or not , whether an individual for example was a minor at the time but subject to parental involvement , but especially when it involves citizenship.
