Does the 'misrepresentation' under FSW affect Family Sponsor Category?

[bishista1]

Dear Friends,
I am shocked to know that today the visa office made a decision on my FSW case which I had applied four years ago. Though there was slight mistake from my side to disclose my previous occupations, the visa office took it as misrepresentation and made decision declaring me 'inadmissible' to Canada for 2 years. Now, the serious question is, does it affect my ongoing Sponsorship Application which has not been approved yet?? Will they refuse the ongoing application outright or they will delay my case for two years?? . If they refuse on the ground of misrepresentation, will my spouse have the right of appeal or not?? Please kindly help me...If anyone has any idea or any experience similar to this, plz share here. I am so helpless now..

Thank you.

I strongly recommend that you contact an immigration lawyer immediately.
Sorry but I suspect that your sponsorship application is in great peril.

Yes - the 2 year ban will impact any application you current have ongoing. The 2 year ban means your spousal sponsorship application cannot proceed until the 2 year ban has passed. As zardoz said, if you want to fight the misprepresentation, get yourself a very good immigration lawyer asap.

Yes you need a good lawyer.

What was the misrepresentation charge? If it sounds like an honest mistake, then I suppose you have small chance of success with an appeal...

Thank you for your advice. I had applied under Federal Skilled Worker Category as a Lecturer in 2010. From 2006 to 2014 February, I had been teaching in a college and from 2009 I had also joined second job for day-time which I thought was not relevant to mention in my application. Unfortunately, the Visa Office happened to know that I was also working in the another field that I did not mention in my application. After the visa office sent me a letter mentioning its dissatisfaction with my job, i provided them with every proofs including copies of my salary sheet, attendance register, letter of the college and the letter from the second employer confirming that my duty hour is flexible, not strictly from 9-5. Even after submitting all these things, they did not make decision for 3 months. After my spouse consulted with the lawyer about the case, he advised to withdraw the FSW case and apply under Family Sponsorship, we did as per his suggestions. To our utter surprise, after one month of the request of withdrawal of the FSW case, they sent me a letter charging me of 'misrepresenting' the occupation. The first secretary (Immigration) who signed the letter states that he is not satisfied with my work experience of the college and charged me of 'misrepresentation' and hence inadmissible to Canada for 2 years. We have applied under Family Sponsorship category but the application has not been accepted yet. In such a situation, I am feeling like out of frying pan into the fire!!

Will they stop processing it or take negative decision right away??
