Not mentioning EDUCATION in STUDENT VISA : Isn't it Misrepresentation/False Information?

As long as the credentials are verified by WES, it’s acceptable. Evidence presented in court is valued, as the truth ultimately prevails. However, if you previously stated something different instead of a master’s degree and are now concealing that to present a master’s degree, it can cause problems, but if you are lucky it will go through.
Alright, thanks for your advice, but is there another option to be safe? And how worse the problem can be if arises?
The situation you’re describing outlines a process involving random file selection for extra scrutiny and its potential outcomes in a PR application. Here’s a breakdown:


1. Random Scrutiny:


• There’s a 10% chance your file will be selected for extra scrutiny.


• A 90% chance it will pass without issues.


2. If Selected for Scrutiny:


• Officers may identify mismatched or missing information, causing delays.


• You may receive a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL), requiring an explanation within 14 days.


3. Response to PFL:


• You need to explain that the omission was unintentional.


• The outcome depends on the officer’s decision, with a 50:50 chance of approval or refusal.


4. In Case of Refusal:


• You can create a new profile excluding problematic details (e.g., a master’s degree) and leave that period blank.


• If you receive another ITA, include a detailed explanation letter about the prior refusal.


5. Important Notes:


• This scenario would not qualify as misrepresentation but could result in a refusal.


• Be truthful and consistent in your responses to avoid jeopardizing your application further.





Good luck with the process!

Very well explained, thanks for clearing the doubts sir. I haven’t got the ITA yet, but will definitely update you about what’s happening further if I get it. Thank you very much.

These days, many people are doing this. 90% are successful, while 9% face refusals, and 1% encounter misrepresentation issues due to various other factors on their file.
Including foreign work experience carries a higher risk of being misrepresented, whereas adding education with a WES evaluation is generally less problematic and unlikely to cause any issues.



Goodluck !
