Misrepresentation means some material fact that is false or misrepresented in the application and IRCC takes such a misrepresentation very seriously. If your application is charged with misrepresentation, then it may lead to the refusal of your application. Also, it may make your application inadmissible. Therefore, it is quite advisable to always be very much careful while you are preparing your application to avoid being hit by the case of misrepresentation.

Examples of material misrepresentations are:

  • Furnishing false documents
  • Failure to disclose about your family members

  • Engaging in a false marriage
  • make it sure that they don’t need any social assistance from the government

Examples of non-material misrepresentations are:

  • Reversing the date and month of your birth on the application
  • Wrongly ticking unmarried or single status when being widowed
  • Giving constant and accurate information on all the forms except one

2) Canada Visa Rejection on the basis of medical reasons

Canadian Government rejects the applications that result in “too much demand” on Canada's healthcare system. It is in their policy. As per policy, the candidate who is submitting an application for Canadian immigration is obliged to undertake a medical examination certified by the Canadian medical officers. The application will be rejected under the subsequent circumstances:

  • If he is suffering from severe diseases which may have an impact on the Canadian overall public's health.
  • If it results in an extreme demand on the health care or social services which are given by the Canadian government.

3) Criminal Reasons

Criminal background checks are a part of the process. Applicants need to wait before they file an application. Canadian Government needs to make sure that the candidate who will be admitted to the country will not be a threat to the country’s overall well-being. A police verification certificate is necessary to be provided but it may not guarantee your criminal behavior. Therefore, the background checking is done at various levels by the Embassy. The authorities will confirm your background from each country where you resided for 6 months or more after 18 years of your age.

Examples of violations are:

  • Theft
  • Assault
  • Drunk & Disorderly conduct

Failing to meet deadlines shows irresponsible behavior and a lack of interest in regard to your PR application.

CIC may grant a few days' extension, but at the same time, it becomes very important to make clear the reasons behind extensions and provide supporting documents.

5) Financial reasons

Showing true proof of funds is an important part of the process. As part of the process, you need to submit a Bank statement or Bank Certificate which will be furnished as proof that the applicant is able to financially support himself or the family members (Either living in Canada or in the home country). Being unsuccessful to show enough proof of funds as needed by the chosen program, may lead to application rejection.
