KNOW HOW TO REVIEW YOUR CANADA VISA APPLICATION BEFORE SENDING
Nick Noorani & Catherine A. Sas, QC, in their book, Immigrate To Canada, suggests that,
Make certain that all of the information in your application is accurate and up to date. If you supply erroneous information in your application, you may be deemed to have committed misrepresentation, and your application will not only be denied, but you will also be barred from submitting any sort of application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for two years. (It should be noted that new laws will expand this to five years.) People often make the mistake of eliminating or omitting information that they believe is irrelevant to the sort of application they are developing. Misrepresentation is one example of this. It is preferable to divulge any conditions about which you are worried and let the officer decide the importance of the information. Driving violations (possible crime), inadequate schooling, and nonmarital relationships are all examples of unnecessary knowledge. Failure to report the presence of family members is far more severe and may result in a lifetime ban on bringing family members to Canada. Make sure to include any family members, spouses, and children—including those born out of wedlock or those you've lived with outside of marriage—as they would be deemed relatives under Canadian immigration regulations. If you hire an immigration lawyer or consultant, be sure to tell him or her everything so that he or she can advise you on how to convey any tough material. Tell the complete truth at all times. If your representative tells you to hide information or supply incorrect information, you should immediately discontinue dealing with that individual. It is a crime for attorneys or consultants to counsel or advise clients to provide false information on their immigration petitions. CIC, on the other hand, will hold you responsible for the information you offer in your application. Saying you depended on a paid representation is not an acceptable excuse. You are responsible for the information in your application, so ensure that it is correct. Insist on seeing a final draught of your application before it is filed. In addition, your lawyer or consultant should provide you with a comprehensive copy of your application for your records. Here are a few key reminders regarding the application process: * Be sure to sign and date your application. Applications that are not signed will be returned. Make sure you've read it first. Never sign anything that you haven't read. * Make sure your forms are valid. Make a duplicate of each form and save it. You must re-validate the forms if you make any changes. * Ensure that all needed documents and material is included with your application and that it is clear and readable. * Notify the visa office in charge of your application of any changes to your information (e.g., address, phone number, marital status), as well as the birth of any children. If your marital status changes or you have a new kid after acquiring your visa, you must notify CIC before travelling to Canada. Bringing a family member who was not listed in your application to Canada may result in the termination of your permanent residence visa. * Do not contact the visa office unless absolutely essential. Once you have received your file number, you may monitor the status of your application online at CIC's website. Go to www.cic.gc.ca/english/my application/status.asp to check your application status. * Hire a competent translator to translate your papers into English or French. * Save a copy of any forms and papers you submit with your application.
