Hello everyone, i applied for a study permit and i received this letter. it is worth noting that i had a co sponsor and i did not know one of his bank account statement was fraudulent. i just received this letter from immigration and i am confuse. i will be grateful if you can advice me on what to do next or how to respond back to them.
thanks


Dear client,

This refers to your application for Study Permit in Canada.

Your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it have been reviewed and it appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection 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 the Act.
I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 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 reasonable requires.
Specifically, I have concerns that the bank statement which you have provided in support of your application is fraudulent. After verification, the bank statement number ........, issued by ............ BANK and belonging to .................appears to be fraudulent.
Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your application for a Study Permit in Canada, you may be found to be inadmissible under section 40(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. A finding of such inadmissibility would render you inadmissible to Canada for a period of two years according to section 40(2)(a):

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
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 two 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 to this information. You will have 15 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information in this regard. Please respond using the address at the top of this letter and clearly indicate your file number for all correspondence.

If you do not respond to this request within 15 days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.

Sincerely,

Your only way out of this is to prove the bank statement is not fraudulent.

If the bank statement is fraudulent, then you're out of luck and you can expect a refusal.

The bank that issued the statement will need to provide further documents to prove the statement isn't fraudulent.

1. You should note the letter has an error. Under 40(2) the penalty for misrepresentation is a 5 year ban from Canada, not 2 years.

upfront
jUST ask your sponsor to go his respective bank and get letter from bank manager on bank letter head that " this person xxxxxx s/o xxxxxxx r/o xxxxxxxxx has a account in our bank , account number xxxxxxxx for past xxx years. His current balance is xxxxxxx rupee . He is a bonafida customer of our bank. Please feel free to contact me for any further information( given bank manager name and moblie number also).

With this letter, also attach notary attested bank pass book .

But these all things are only possible, if your co-sponsor has genuine bank account. I am also having hard time to understand that the fact that why your co-sponsor would give you fake statements, unless if u have given him consent to do that. I think you knew about it before, otherwise why would third person take headache to get fake statements for no reason.

Hello All,

I also have this similar issue on Procedural fairness,
My husband was removed from US entry, He did not over stay but back dated stamp so it could feel he returned same day with his family.

He was removed because of the backdated stamp and banned for 5 years.

Now he applied for a PR and did not specify about removed because he said he saw have you ever been a criminal and he answered NO.

Now he has been issued a Procedural Fairness. How Can he reply this sincerely? and we have 6 days more to go.

Can we add the Custom Protection Border report that was issued to him?

You're probably out of luck and can expect a refusal. Failing to answer questions truthfully in an immigration application is misrepresentation. The questions on the application are very straight forward and ask if you have ever been refused a visa or refused entry.

You'll need to respond with the full details of your husband's removal and explain that you misunderstood the question on the immigration application. It's possible CIC may still agree to process the application. However the more likely outcome is unfortunately refusal.

What do you mean by a new business registration? Was the original business registration fraudulent?

No it's not fraudulent. I went there to get an original copy to send it along with the rest of my documents , since I didn't want to photocopy it .
