sponsorship refusal

[canadianwoman]

Hi,how do you define 'declare relationships'(do people go to some organizations and officially disclose the relationship?)

If someone who has applied for a PR visa gets married or starts to live with someone or has a child, before the PR visa is issued and the person goes to Canada, the spouse/partner/child must be declared to CIC. The applicant must let the visa office processing his/her file know about the new family member. If he/she gets a PR visa and lands in Canada without telling CIC about the change in family, he/she will never be able to sponsor that person.

Since me and my husband were living together on and off before we've got married, he usually lived with his family in Toronto when we were dating, so we did not declare common-law relationship when I filed my PR application, and I've got my PR, then we married.

If you had lived with him for a year, you should have declared him as your common-law spouse. Since you just lived with him off and on, CIC won't consider that a common-law relationship, so you should be safe.

Will that be any problem if I sponsor him in the near future? Thank you!

There should be no problem to sponsor him soon. But there may be a problem if you wait 3 years: if you two are living together in some other country for 3 years, then fine (as long as your PR is still valid), but if you are in Canada and he is somewhere else, CIC will be suspicious about why it took you so long to sponsor him.

What if you didn't declare you had previously applied to sponsor someone?

thats misrepresentation and that is easily found out

But not enough of a reason to decline your application, surely?

Misrepresentation would be very, very likely to trigger a refusal.
It is a very serious matter, really.

personally i think it may be enough reason thats my personal view as lying on the application means you will do anything to get into canada and that behaviour is frowned up... but i think you may get denied if u lied about criminal history as that looks like a biggie IMO

 

[canadianwoman]

Yeah, it would be. The visa officer will easily find out, and will then wonder why you tried to hide the fact that you had a previous sponsorship. And the only reason to hide it - in their eyes - would be because it was a MOC. And if one marriage is a MOC, the VO is going to be pretty suspicious that the next one is too.

Can it cause a removal order or any serious charges like imprisonment????

Removal order and ban from entering Canada.

If you submit false documents or information, your application will be refused.
You will also face serious consequences. Depending on the situation, these may include:

No entry into Canada for at least two years
a permanent record of fraud in CIC’s database
having your permanent resident status or Canadian citizenship revoked
being charged with a crime or
removal from Canada.


A big issue if you do it....

Also note that it is not just about lying on an application, if you misrepresent facts in an interview with a CIC officer it is also deemed to be fraudulent and a crime.
