Marriage Misrepresentation

[lino82]

Misrepresentation is a crime as per the definition of CIC and you can actually be charged. See for example this:

Tarzan don't care about it. You guys are judging him base on the standard of the society that you are living in. Like I said, you don't know the guy background so give him a break, he might be the second Tarzan or Mr. Robinson.

May be you're right and may be not. But personally, I will be glad if he gets the ban. When you act like that and take an opportunity you don't deserve from someone whose life might have changed with this chance, you deserve the punishment. As they say: Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

sir,with all due respect,have you never done anything wrong...at some stage...may be in school?college? Work place? in public transport ..,
have you never jumped queue in hurry ...?
it is not 'un'normal that ppl do so..,
and ppl crossing over illegally are also not deported without a fair hearing...that speaks of the gravity of the 'crime'...may be he too felt threatened or deprived that he thought of sneaking in...
I wouldn't be glad if someone has to forego his dream just because he tried to jump the queue..
it's like sending a kid home from in front of Disneyland & to ban him for life,for having tried to sneak in with few cents short of the ticket...

Don't judge the guy base on his one mistake. When I first come outside my country, I even rode my bicycle on the freeway because I don't know what is the freeway. The freeway concept is mind blown to me since where I came from don't have it. You don't know that guy background or what was threatening him at that time, so stop judging him.

He make a mistake and he acknowledged it, why don't you just forgive him and help him to make it right.

I think the issue is, some have suggested he "right this wrong" by digging himself deeper with more lies. The best thing the OP can do is consult an immigration attorney, NOT an immigration forum.

He needed an opinion, not everyone's comments or judgement. As to what he can do, please seek legal advice or as @scylla suggested, withdraw your application. In any case, be prepared to explain this whole situation in your next application if given a chance. Good luck!

I'd also suggest contacting @legalfalcon to have another opinion.

P.S. it takes courage to admit what you did. Let it be your learning lesson and promise yourself to be more.open from now on. I wish you Good luck!

I don't agree with this: I think we should absolutely judge someone deciding to move to Canada by Canadian cultural values or laws: this is the one case where I feel "previous" background or cultures shouldn't matter.
It's a harsh lesson, and I do hope he doesn't get banned: but this was not an honest mistake. It was a deliberate decision taken after seeing the misrepresentation would boost his scores.

It does not even push his score. Having no wife or having unaccompanied wife are the same. Base on your logic, all the people who declare their wives will not accompany them to get the PR then later sponsor their wives should be on the hook also.

By saying "I think we should absolutely judge someone deciding to move to Canada by Canadian cultural values or laws", you don't even understand Canadian culture. You are just reflecting your culture onto Canadian.

Edit: 'accompanied wife' to 'unaccompanied wife'. Sorry for my typo, I was thinking 'unaccompanied' but typed 'accompanied'

The bolded part is simply not true. There can be a considerable difference between applying as a single applicant or as married with accompanying spouse.

Hmmm...I suspect he meant difference between applying as a single applicant and as married with an UNaccompanying spouse...

Can you give more details? I thought they are the same

If you indeed meant what crescent posted then yes, no difference CRS wise.

Yes, that's what I mean. I've just figured out my typo. Sorry about that.

Do what you have to do to avoid a ban and/or rejection. This world is a like a rat race and it's unfair, don't listen to the people here talking as if they're fault-free.

Many people here think they deserve to get PR in Canada just because they meet the requirements. However, A huge part of the reason as to why they meet the requirements is because of external factors aka they were lucky in life.

Do what you gotta do! You only live once.
