Examples of misrepresentations would be:
Fail to declare that you have been refused a visa for another country
Provide a document that is found to be non-genuine
Fail to mention a family member
Declare employment experience which you do not have, or
Obtain permanent residence by having engaged in a non-genuine marriage
Misrepresented information can be provided (or omitted) by yourself, a family member, or your representative. In all cases, it is the principal applicant who is at fault – even if the principal applicant did not know the misrepresentation occurred.
