Misrepresentation in immigration applications

The consequences of false statements or withheld material information.

What to understand

Misrepresentation can include providing false information or withholding a material fact, including through a third party acting for an applicant. It can lead to refusal and serious future consequences.

What to prepare

Review every form and document for accuracy before submitting. If you find an error, obtain qualified advice about correcting the record promptly.

Important to know

A representative does not remove your responsibility for your application. Never sign a blank form or use fabricated evidence.

Check the official requirements

Program rules, eligibility, fees and processing times may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Check the current government instructions before applying.
