1000s rejected for misrepresentation each month 🤦😳 Unfortunately many more do slip away and get approved.

Thousands of applications are rejected each month due to immigration fraud. Those who get caught are banned from entering Canada. Watch this video or visit our website to learn what we are doing to stop it and get the facts: bit.ly/3BuX9L7

I think many applicants proceed to apply even when the sponsors don't meet income requirements.

Starting July 28, 2025, IRCC will begin issuing invitations to apply under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). IRCC plans to send 17,860 invitations with the goal of ultimately accepting 10,000 complete applications into processing. In other words, IRCC's goal is that approximately 45% of invited applicants will either not respond or will submit incomplete applications. Our firm currently has multiple judicial review applications in progress related to PGP application refusals for alleged incompleteness. I am also contacted at least once a week by someone whose application has been returned. Here are the top five reasons I’ve seen for PGP applications being bounced: (1) Parent/grandparent resumes that omit periods of unemployment. This one is particularly frustrating. IRCC’s checklist is unclear about the need to list unemployment, and it is not standard practice to include such periods on a resume. In my opinion, this requirement exists primarily to justify returning applications. (2) Responses sent to a “donotreply” IRCC e-mail address IRCC sends document requests from a “donotreply” e-mail. Although the correct e-mail address is mentioned in the message body, some applicants mistakenly reply to the “donotreply” address. The donotreply e-mail address does not trigger a bounce-back message, making the error easy to miss. (3) Errors in the Expression of Interest form Unfortunately, the Federal Court pretty consistently held that these errors are not judicially reviewable. (4) Incorrectly signed forms This one is self-explanatory. (5) Parents/Grandparents not identifying Canadian citizens as being their children in the Additional Family Information form What other reasons have you seen for IRCC determining that a PGP application was incomplete? As awareness of these issues grows, I hope we will see a decline in incomplete applications. I would love to see what IRCC would do if they received 17,860 complete applications.

Thank God. This is a relief.

That will remove current confusion which seems very prevalent and can have serious consequences when someone tries to steer their application on this path of non accompanying spouse. I would welcome this.

Internal January 2024 IRCC e-mail noting that "the CRS review has taken careful consideration of the spousal points and is recommending their removal." From issues of misrepresentation, to a lack of clear economic benefit of having CRS points based on spouses, to apparent instances of spouses being listed as non-accompanying in order to save money on ECAs and language tests, there does not appear to be a strong argument for the spousal CRS points in Express Entry.

The figure for job loss is probably the direct loss in numbers of positions. The indirect financial loss may be more. However, providing quality education should be a priority from the best teachers and professors in class. Private partnerships were a mess that led to chaos.

Seems like someone is scrutinizing programs to the nail and taking this job of reviewing very seriously. We can hope that it helps to cover labour shortages and is not a tough change for educational institutions in Canada.

This clarification from IRCC means those who found out it will find out that they need to apply for asylum after a certain time as prescribed under the Act, when passed, will be ineligible. If implemented retrospectively, thousands of applicants will face deportation.

Always remain truthful and submit verifiable documents. Refuse or withdraw representation if client insists to misrepresent. Immigration representatives must be competent, reliable and preferably experienced. news.ontario.ca/en/court/10060…

@CitImmCanada Asking a simple question & doing a little research will help the applicants to get knowledgeable consultancy. But the majority of the population in this world, although educated, are not literate in this aspect of importance. And how do we check unauthorized consultants?

They are ☑️lawyers and paralegals who are members in good standing of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society ☑️notaries who are members in good standing of the Chambre des notaires du Québec ☑️citizenship or immigration consultants who are members in good standing of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants If you use an unauthorized representative in Canada or abroad, we may return your application or refuse it.

@AskKubeir I agree. This scam of paying to get LMIA for support of PR or for work permit has to be clamped down. This is illegal and not ethical. A professional immigration consultant with ethics cannot do this IMO.

@CitImmCanada Great initiative to lure talent and improve the situation of shortages in health and technology occupations. However, it can be tough for new immigrants if they will require licensing. Finding jobs can become challenging for some if economy slows down. Good luck.
