I really need help I got this message this afternoon

Dear Gonja

This refers to your application for permanent in Canada as a member of the Family Class.

Your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it have been reviewed and it appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection 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 the Act.

Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Section 117(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, 2002 defines who is a member of the family class. A foreign national is a member of the family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is
(a) the sponsor's spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner;
Subsection 4(1) of the regulations, states that, for the purpose of these regulations, no foreign national shall be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal partnership was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act; or is not genuine.
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:
16(1) 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 reasonable requires.
Specifically, I have concerns that the birth Certificate Entry No. ***** in the name of Gonja (dob: *******) and the passport issued in the name of Gonja (****, dob: ****) which you have provided in support of your application are fraudulent and improperly obtained. I have concern you have not declared your true identity and that you have a different name and different date of birth. Specifically I have concern your true identity is gaga , dob: (******)
It is noted that you were included as a non-accompanying dependent on your father's application for permanent residence. I note you did not submit a birth certificate issued at time of birth or your educational documents on the current application. The non-disclosure of your true identity prevents the officer from completing a reliable background check.
Based on the evidence that you provided I am not satisfied that your marriage is genuine and/or that the primary reason for the marriage is other than for the purpose of you gaining admission to Canada. Furthermore, as I have concerns you have not disclosed your true identity it calls into question the legality of your marriage. As a result, for the purpose of the regulations, you may not be considered to be a member of the family class.


Further, I note you did not declare your previous United States visa refusal on your Schedule A.

Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your application for a permanent residence in Canada as a member of the Family Class, 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 five 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.

I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to this information. You will have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information in this regard. Please respond using the address at the top of this letter and clearly indicate your file number for all correspondence.

If you do not respond to this request within 30 days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.


Please note that submission in person will not be accepted.

Sincerely,


Immigration Officer
Immigration Section

Sorry to hear about this.Hang in there and follow the others' suggestion and I wish you all the best. Misrepresentation is a big deal but I'm sure it's a misunderstanding and it will be cleared out
 
Thank you all, praying for the best. God is in control

Sorry about this Gonja. My prayers are with you. Please do not be discouraged. CIC letters always seems like the end of the world but it is not. Find a good immigration lawyer to sort it out. I am sure there is a good and plausible explanation. Good Luck and God bless!

Hi All,
After sending the requested documents to Accra which they received on May 5, I checked Ecas yesterday morning and my wife's status has changed from "Application Received" to "In Process". Does this mean that the journey is almost over? Does anyone know how long after In Process to passport request?. Am just anxious and the wait is becoming unbearable. Thanks

In process in Accra means you're done. Mine was in process for a few hours then I got my PPR.

Congrats!

With the application, I only put pictures of the engagement and marriage ceremony and a few pictures of outings together. Also visas showing I visited and the marriage certificate. That's it. When I saw how people package their applications I was nervous that she will be called for interview because people send many more things.

So then without them asking me, I sent them chat logs and bank statements and that was it ( i don't even know if they got those)
