In 2013 i have applied to canada student visa and got rejected and the reason they mentioned is less ties to my home country. I made a lie on that application regarding my previous work experiences. Now at this point, I want to apply for canada PR so in this new PR application I want to rectify the lie that i made regarding my previous experience and i want to go with truth. now my question is I got to know from internet sources that inadmissibility for misrepresentation is 5 year ban. now i have completed with the 5 year period even though CIC did not rejected my previous application by finding my lie.

1. am i eligible to apply for PR now?
2. Now,If the CIC find that my previous application is misrepresented and this application is true, what are they going to do now? will they ban me for 5 years from now?

please answer these question, It would be very helpful to me
Thanks & Regards

I think your question is should you say the truth about your work experiences, previous visa refusals, etc in your PR application? The answer is YES.
Disclose all the pertinent information.
And yeah, I think you're eligible to apply for PR via EE. As to whether you'll be banned for misrepresentation on your PR application because of the initial misrepresentation on your student visa, it doesn't seem likely.
But that's just my opinion (and I'm no expert). You might want to read more on their website and probably seek legal advice...

The ban for misrepresentation is 2 years or 5 years?

The inadmissibility ban comes into affect from they day IRCC makes a determination on your application that you are inadmissible due to misrepresentation. Just passage of 5 years does not mean that you will be exempt.

when you file a PR application or any other, IRCC does compare it with the prior applications, and compares them. If there is a stark contradiction between the one you filed before or your new application, it will raise concerns.

IRCC didnot rejected my previous application saying that i misrepresented and i am banned they just said that due to family ties to home country your application is rejected. So my exact question is, in the canada immigration law 40 2a they mentioned that a person who got caught by the IRCC by misrepresntatng on application outside canada will be banned to apply new application for 5 years. So here in my case i didnot got caught by them and it passed 5 years now and i am applyng PR nd want to mention truth nd they vl however find my previous application is misrepresnted now so what they gonna do now thats wat i want to knw. Will they realize now that i mistepresnted 5 yesrs back and will they start the ban from now? Or they think that 5 years have passed so they vl approve PR?

As mentioned above what happened back in 2013 and 5 years from then having passed is irrelevant as there is no statute of limitations on misrepresenting anything as far as I aware. So if you apply for PR and IRCC look back to compare in detail anything you previously included on any application whether rejected or not then that could or could not be taken into account with any future application.

It would be only be speculation here whether it could or could not result in a ban and could even depend how you stretched the truth about work experience back in 2013 or even whether the VO just works on the basis of the rejection reasons alone no way to predict if any impact. Very easy by the way to overthink things as well

There is nothing you can do to fix the old misrepresentation now. So just apply, mark 'yes' for student visa refusal and hope for the best. In the reason for refusal mention 'no strong ties to home country'.
The other option is to not apply at all and stay where you are.

Misrepresentation happens when it is determined by IRCC. Unless then, it is not. Your application was never denied due to misrepresentation. So irrespective of how much times has passed, it is irrelevant. The day IRCC determines that you misrepresented, it is from that day, the 5 year or 2 year as the case may be commence.

Hi,

I had a 5 year ban till 2020 due to misrepresentation. I am planning to wait out till the ban is over in July 2020. In the mean time, I would prepare other documentations. I have few more things which it would be great if I could get advise.

1. Since I had misrepresentation and 5 year ban, I want to make sure that it wont happen again with the next application. The misrepresentation issue was with one of the work experience which was the primary NOC that I claimed points for. (The issue was, this job dates was not included in my LinkedIn profile and only the previous jobs was included. Also there were contradictions in the time period in the linkedin against the submitted application)

So I am planning to remove this whole work experience in the next application and claim points for a different NOC for which I also have experience. Would this solve the issue? Please comment how this can be dealt with?

2. I wish to include my spouse and children in the PR application but at the same time I don't want them to travel with me initially. I am planning to take them at a later stage.. Would this be workable?

Thanks

If you planning to include a different NOC for the contradicting period, then why did you lie in the first place with a different NOC there? Just be careful and honest in your next application, do not raise unnecessary flags. Good luck.
