however , when i attented the airport in Vietnam . the Immagration in VN was found out.
we both didnt even know it was fake visa and kinda socked for that sittuation.
And then Immagration Vietnam solved it and said we're cleared and they made a decision that we were the victims of fraud
Then we're starting opening our paperwork again on 10/2019 and the CIC checked my background and somehow they said i tried to used the visa bc i guess back then when i checked in at the airport , it was showed the case in 2017

This refers to your application for permanent residence 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. Section 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 (IRPR). 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 IRPA. I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by section 16(1) of IRPA which states that 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 reasonably requires. Specifically, I have concerns that you did not truthfully answer Question 4B on the Schedule A Background / Declaration. You did not declare that you were refused admission to Canada or any other country; nor did you declare that you had previously been detained. You did not mention your attempt to travel to Canada together with your sponsor in May 2017. I have concerns that you misrepresented the information provided by not declaring that you had previously been refused entry into Canada and not declaring that you had previously been detained by Vietnam Immigration and may therefore be inadmissible to Canada under section 40(1)(a) of IRPA. Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your application, you may be found to be inadmissible under section 40(1)(a) of IRPA. A finding of such inadmissibility would render you inadmissible to Canada for a period of five (5) years according to section 40(2)(a) and unable to submit any further permanent resident applications for Canada for the same period of time as per section 40(3). I also have concerns that you are inadmissible to Canada under section 36(1)(c) for criminality as you previously tried to enter Canada with a counterfeit immigrant visa on May 30, 2017. A foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of criminality for: 36(1)(c) committing an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years. I am concerned that in previously using a counterfeit immigrant visa you committed an offence in Vietnam that is an offence in Vietnam under the Vietnamese Penal Code and, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under IRPA which is an Act of Parliament, and this offence would be punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to 14 years. I therefore have concerns that you are inadmissible under section 36(1)(c) of IRPA as you committed a crime outside Canada that is an offence in the place it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years. I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to this information. You will have thirty (30) days from the date of this letter to submit additional information in this regard. For online applications all responses should be sent via the IRCC online portal. For all other applications, all responses should be sent via email to spore.immigration@international.gc.ca. Please clearly indicate your application number on all correspondence with our office. If you do not respond to this request within thirty (30) days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.
