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 do not meet the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), 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.
I have additional concerns that you may be inadmissible under subsection 40(1) of IRPA, which states:
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.
Specifically, I have concerns that you have provided a fraudulent or inappropriately obtained Labour Market Impact Assessment number in your application for a work permit, which if undetected could have induced an error in the administration of The Act, in that a visa/work permit could have been issued in error based on fraudulent information. Please provide your explanation.
Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your application, you would be inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years according to subsection 40(2)(a):
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.
I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond. You will have 7 days from the date of this letter to submit evidence and documentation you deem will address these concerns.
This must be received at this office by: 2023/04/20
Date format is (YYYY/MM/DD)
You must use your IRCC secure account to send us the requested documents. If you submitted your application via paper, please link your paper application to your online account so that you can upload your documents directly to your file. Documents and information submitted in any other mode or format will not be accepted.
For more information, visit www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1310&top=23.
If you choose not to respond with additional information, a decision will be rendered on your application based on the information before us.
