hi everyone any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I made an error on my visa application and I was refused a vistor visa. is there anyway I can appeal this decision, because it was due to a small error I made, I have copy and pasted the visa refusal letter below.
Dear Sir,
I have completed the assessment of your application and I have determined that you do not qualify for a
Temporary Resident Visa to Canada.
Subsection a0(1Xa) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 2001 states that a foreign national is
inadmissible for misrepresentation 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.
Paragraph a} specifies that the foreign national continues to be inadmissible for misrepresentation
for a period of two years following, in the case of a determination outside Canada, a final determination
of inadmissibility under subsection (1).
On your application for a Temporary Resident Visa, In the Background Information section of form IMM5257 Application for Temporary Resident Visa, when asked if you Have ever been refused any kind of visa, admission, or ordered to leave Canada or any other country, you stated "no."
You failed to declare that you were refused a visa to the United States of America.
I have determined that you are described under the provisions of subsection a0(1)(a) of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 2001. I reached this determination because you are a
person who misrepresented or withheld a material fact, either directly or indirectly, relating to a
relevant matter that induced an error in the administration of the Act. As a result, you are
inadmissible to Canada pursuant to subsection 40(1)(a). Subsection a\Q)@) makes this
inadmissibility effective for a period of two years from the date of June 4,2014.
Subsection 1 I (l ) of the Act provides 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
shall 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 made a mistake and checked no when I should have checked yes, I am sure it must has a way for me to amend my application seeing that this was a human error, any help will be great appreciated...
