Hi everyone,
Semi-related question here: I know someone who (along with their spouse) came to Canada on 3 year study permits. They did not end up going to university. Instead, one spouse switched their study permit to an open work permit while the other spouse dropped-out of school and did not attend for 1.5 years. In the meantime the spouse with the WP applied to a Prov. Nominee Program and received a certificate a few months later. It should be noted that this particular PN Program was not open to international students or the spouses of international students. Needless to say, this couple was very lucky to get a nomination and ultimately PR given the level of misrepresentation that occurred. Firstly: they lied about being students to get in to Canada and secondly: they lied to get their nomination.
If they get caught by CBSA what chance would they have on appeal to IAD to keep their PR status? All opinions are appreciated. Thanks
