Visa denial

[carlypal2009]

A friend was denied a visa, this is in the visa denial.

I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all the questions in the documents you have submitted in support of your application, as required by subsection 16(1) of the IRPA. Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful. /you have failed to declare, on your application, your previous US refusal as required under Canadian law. Because of this I am not satisfied that you would respect the terms of admission as a temporary resident in Canada.

How would someone be able to respond to this?

Explain why you lied on your application?

Lucky this 'friend' didn't receive a ban for misrepresentation. I doubt you can fix the situation by suddenly remembering that you had a refusal. Post the full letter without any personal details to see if they gave you the opportunity to come clean.

It does sound like a weird thing to forget, right?

A lot of people on this forum do tend to have a very bad memory when it comes to previous refusals

Let's not get mean, we are all here anxious about our processes and we all know what it is like to be scared of the word "refused"m a little compassion goes a long way

Not being mean, it's understandable that people would rather not disclose previous refusals. Doesn't mean that it's right or helpful. Lots of people run into many issues and even 5 year bans when they misrepresent, so I'd rather they be aware of consequences.

It’s not being mean, it’s being truthful. Sponsorship is a serious undertaking and should be treated as such. You are doing yourself no favours by lying and in fact you’re hurting yourself more, since applications have been accepted when you’re honest about your refusals. Why risk misrepresentation and a possible ban if you don’t have to? And they will find out. You can’t just sweep it under the rug and act like it didn’t happen.

Sponsoring another person you are going to be responsible for isn’t something you do because you thought it was a cool idea at the time, and even if you’re coming on your own and not sponsoring it’s still a serious commitment. Be honest and treat the process with respect.
