kind guys,I have received an email from hongkong visa office,how should I reply to her to avoid a refusal result?

Dear xxxx:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
I have reviewed your application and documents you submitted in its support. Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Regulations. The visa or document may be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this 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 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.

Although no Use of a Representative (IMM 5476) form was included, we have grounds to believe that you have an unauthorized immigration representative based on the information provided on your application.

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 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 five 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.

Before a final decision is made on your application, you are being provided with this opportunity to respond to the above concerns by way of written submissions. Any response must clearly indicate your application number and must be received by our office within 30 days from the date of this letter. After this deadline has passed, your application will be reviewed based on the information on file at that time; this may result in a refusal of your application for the reasons listed above.

Please note:
All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations. When original documents are requested.

Sincerely,

Just inform them truly that you never used any representative but seeked help from friends and there is no such representation as best to your knowledge.
 
Also, mention in case if you're given a chance to be called for an interview you can clarify your stand more (Keeping in mind you can convince the VO better face to face and it's one time chance), basically I think you should immediately ask for an interview and clarify face to face and it'll work out! Best of luck! :)

You can't ask for an interview.

But still you can request for that along with all supporting documents and declarations. (that you have not used any representative). Before that try to understand and go thorough the documents which you submitted to CIC and see what wrong you have done there.

Dear badboywater,

First of all do not panic, losing your composure is the worst thing you can do at this situation. From you quote I understood that the package was not sent by you and/or the sender's address is not that mentioned in your application ?. If so, than I am assuming that the person who send it could be in the VO's blacklist as an unauthorized immigration consultant or maybe they had run queries and found out that the sender's address is the legal address of an immigration law firm ???. In both cases write them a letter and explain that the person just helped you with the application free of charge and without any retainer agreement and that you didn't know that assistance could be considered as a use of representative. Explain them the situation honestly and I think everything will be OK.

Good luck !!!
 
Please keep us updated and let us know what happens. May God help you through this
