REFUSAL & INADMISSIBILITY FOR 5 YEARS ON TRV

[Seyifunmi]

Dear All,

I was given a refusal &5 Year Ban with my family on account of "misrepresenting my purpose of travel to Canada on Tourism, whereas, I planned my trip/tour on or around the delivery of our New Born".

My immigration consultant suggests we appeal this through a Canadian Lawyer, however, I am not sure what to do again. May be I should just let the 5 year pass before a re-application.

Also, what does this say to my other tourism travel plans to other countries?

Will the Ban affect application for second citizenship in other countries?

Rgds,

Rgds,

After reading your other posts, there is nothing to appeal. Your consultant is an idiot. You planned to deliver the baby in the USA. The USA denied the visa so you then planned on delivering the baby in Canada. Not a crime but you said you were going to Canada for tourism even if you knew your planned dates to “tour” is when your wife will give birth.

The ban will affect visa applications to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and any other country that share information with Canada. I don’t know what you mean by applying for a second citizenship. You apply to become a permanent resident NOT a citizen.

Hi,

can you share the refusal letter that states your ban , ofcourse removing your personal details?

This is amazing.

I imagine that in your US visa you listed the doctor and hospital as persons/institutions you would be visiting in the US. Your wife may have mentioned the hospital and giving birth in the visa interview. You were refused.

You then applied for a Canadian visa without mentioning that you would likely be pregnant and/or giving birth on the trip. The US and Canada share visa application details - to think that Canada would not get the details of what you submitted to the US is a major error.

Your ban is very unlikely to be removed. You'd spend a lot of money to your consultant (who doesn't deserve it) and the lawyer and get not much further.

Rgds,

On what basis would you be appealing the refusal?

No appeal....straight to Judicial Review. Given IRCC is pretty careful in their determination of misrepresentation, an error in law is highly unlikely and a rejected JR is likely. Last I read, expect $2,500-3,000 to submit for leave and same again if leave is granted.

As for tourism to other countries, US, Australia, UK and NZ are probably going to look at the misrepresentation in an unfavourable light. Wouldn’t expect a visa from any of those countries in the near future. Note that the ban applies not only to visas, but any application to Canada for 5 years.

What’s amazing is that in this day and age of information sharing between countries for immigration, you didn’t think that Canada would get any information regarding your American application and the reason

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...2/immigration-information-sharing-treaty.html

Once you sent in that request for a TRV to Canada, automatically a request was sent to the USA, there was a match ,and your data was sent to Canada
This would be a text book example of why countries do this for immigration purposes

The routine is people come here for a birth and stick Canada for the costs. It can be from 10K to the moon if something goes wrong. I was born here; I don't want to pay for this as a tax payor. Everyone says they will pay, but they skip the country. That is why birth tourism is a No-no.

Well said!!! However, I still have Valid visa to UK. Is it going to affect this in any way?

I never knew TBH! I would have just opted out of the US interview.

Since birth tourism, asylum, and visa abuse is well-known from Nigeria, you would likely have faced issues anyways, especially since you lied on your application.

You can assume the UK is now aware of this.
