Thanks a lot for your kind words. It has been very frustrating months recently and I wake up every day to be disappointed at no answer. The uniqueness of my case only makes matters worse as it leads to more uncertainty. Will keep everyone updated.

Thank you @scylla, thanks everyone who were concerned about my case, TODAY I have received an update, they are requesting me for the following documents:
-IMM 5257
-IMM 5707
-Updated proof of funds
Apparently the whole misrepresentation issue has been cleared favourably (or it seems) and they are asking me for these documents "...to continue the processing of your application". My SP and eTA are still inactive but should be reinstated after they review these forms (10 days to submit). Will bring news when this happens.

Hello @scylla I need your help again. As a recap, I received a PFL, ordered the GCMS notes, found out that my application was not in progress and now I got ADR in mid June for an IMM 5257 (Schedule 1 - Application for a TRV outside Canada), an IMM 5707 (Family information form) and updated proof of funds. However, I am still waiting for an answer after nearly two months since then.
Do you know if being asked for those forms is a good or bad sign? I found out they rarely ask for these. According to the tracker, Additional Docs started being reviewed in June 20 and background check changed to "In progress" in June 22. Thanks!!!

Hello ,
Please I need help,how do I lift a 5 years ban of misrepresentation? I gave an unprofessional agent my application for a study permit and that of my husband a work permit,he requested for our bank statement which we gave him but I think he altered it ..note this is without our knowledge although I have read the immigration officer holds us responsible for any documents submitted.please is there a possibility to appeal because the pfl he submitted wasn't sufficient enough,he only submitted an updated account statement without a proper explanation and also he dint show any of this to us ..we are still unaware of all that he submitted because he's not releasing our login information.pls what can I do ?

If you want to try to lift a ban, you need to hire an immigration lawyer in Canada to take your case forward. There is absolutely no guarantee that the ban will be reversed. Even if an agent represented you, IRCC still holds you responsible for the information included in your application. However you can certainly try to appeal the decision with the help of a lawyer.
I am a success story of PFL. I received PFL, provided the information and was approved for PR.
But you should understand that it depends on the seriousness of your mistake and where you are located.
The general rule is this:
1) If you are located outside Canada, probability that you will be approved is low.
2) If you are located inside Canada, probability that you will be approved is high. But hire a lawyer who will help you compose a cover letter. In addition to that you should provide a statutory declaration. Every document should be signed and stamped. A lawyer knows how to do it. Don't save money on a lawyer! It's a serious thing.
Also:
1) If your mistake is serious (you hid criminal punishment), probability that you will be approved is low.
2) If your mistake is not serious (you forgot to mention about visa refusals), probability that you will be approved is high.
Remember PFL is not a verdict. It's a chance for you to explain whether you made mistake or you misrepresented information.
You are welcome.
I'm writing this message for the future generations to help them because I was stuck and didn't get proper help anywhere. Good luck everyone! Welcome to Canada!
