Misrepresentation will revoke my PR?

[Qiqi]

Hi there,
I am facing really bad situation now. I applied PR under AINP in 2013, but got married to my husband 2014 and he was already a PR since 2011. I totally forgot to report my marriage when i was landing in 2015. Then in 2016, I got divorced with my ex. In 2017, I submited an application for my new husband under famliy class. And the officer said since I didn't report my marriage when I was landing in 2015, they will do a inspectation and my new husband case will delay. My question is: is that misrepresentation will rovoke my PR even if my ex was PR and my application was individual? And anyone know how long it will delay my husband case? Please please give me some info. Thanks all.

How is it possible to "forget" that you were married when you landed? The paperwork sent with the visa approval clearly says you must report any change in your marital status or family makeup.

Yes, your lying when you landed is going to make things take longer. And yes you could have your PR revoked for misrepresentation. You lied on landing. You deserve to lose your PR for misrepresentation.

While, Canadian culture is totally different from my hometown. We never apply a marriage certificate when we were married in 2014. But we did have priest to come. We even didnt have a ceremony at that time. So we both throught we were still single without have the marriage certificate. But when we decide to broke up. My friends told me that we have to apply the marriage certificate to get divorced... it was really confused at that time. So its not like ''forgot'' or ''lying''.

Except you said it yourself: "I totally forgot to report my marriage when i was landing in 2015."

Thank you. Yes. I didnt ask the officer about this situation. Even I didnt have a certificate, but maybe they think I am still lying....really want to explain my situation to CIC before they made decision.

Yes, it was misrepresentation BUT it would not have lead to "induces or could induce an error in the administration of" IRPA because the Spouse was already a Permanent Resident.

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;

Oh my god.Thank you! Hope its just delay not refuse my husband case. So worried about it. But thank you for your reply.

The fact that the ex was already a PR before the OP landed should minimize the risk to the OP regarding her PR status. But for her sponsorship of her new husband, it will be delayed as they will scrutinize it thoroughly because of the past mistake. Hopefully the application is very solid with no red flags or the delay could be substantial.
