[nazdroveyaa]

dear all, SOS,help needed


what is material misrepresentation??

is it true that the govt. of canada can actually revoke one's citizenship?? if foud that the primary or secondary applicant concelead some information............not something like a political allaince, terrorism murder, or felony etc or anything similar............but something like a an overstay in a country???

would this amount upto the concerened being stripped of his or her citizenship ??? or if it's harmless the immigration judge in an event of hearing would consider the applicants demenour throughout his or her stay in canada???

if the individual has renounced the citizenship of the country he/she comes from where can the govt. od canada deport???

would appreciate your feedback on the query

According to my opinion an overstay which was not disclosed in the application may not result in deportation if it is for the reasons that you have mentioned.

However please be noted that, every applicant signs a declaration on he bottom of their background declaration form that all the information given is truthful, complete and correct.

Also in the declaration there are few other lines below about "I understand.... " describing about the consequences for false statements, concealment of material facts, misrepresentation etc by way of prosecution, removal or barring the entry to Canada for 2 years etc...

Therefore, I would say that such misrepresentation or concealment is always be the Sword of Damocles hangs above his head.

dear wilson,

appreciate your feedback thank you.it's totally understandable that the concerened is in the wrong!!!!!!!! even foolish to have concelead any information.....BUT assuming that the concerened person, other than this particular conceled information has a rather clean case and life is giving him/her another chance has decided to go ahead with the application.........assuming everything is fine in canada he/she gets the citizenship as well ( maybe a long shot as CIC is adept enough to find holes in any application, though god is great) and THEN it is found that there was misrepresentation in the PR application would it be grounds of deportation, stripping of citizenship etc.....and if the person has renounced his/her citizenship of the his/her country of origin THEN in that case where would the canadian govt. deport him/her shouldthe need arise?? again the conceled information in question is not as grave as fraud marraige, criminal conduct etc etc.............

Would be grateful if you and seniors would contribute to this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ciao

It is likely best to come forward with the information yourself rather than have it discovered. Admitting something that is, as you have noted, not extraordinarily serious in my opinion carries more weight than having it discovered. Consider the scenario of an Officer reviewing your files and finding a discrepancy and calling you for an interview and you having to admit you were aware of the information and did not disclose it or having discovered this information and as soon as possible bringing this to the attention of a decision maker. If it were you which do you believe would carry more weight and assist with your case? Put yourself in the best position possible.
