Everyone looks for green pastures and Canada has been the destination of many people, especially from South Asia. The demand for skilled labourers has increased the number of applications over the years. But aspirants should avoid giving false information as it can lead to a ban on their entry to the country.
Last year, the North American country announced its plans to create a citizenship path for undocumented immigrants.
Over the next three years, Canada has aimed to welcome 51,615 refugees who were most in need of protection through the Government-Assisted Refugees programme. This is separate from the country’s International Experience Canada (IEC) programme, which would allow nearly 90,000 young people from IEC partner countries and territories to come to the country and participate.
Startup visas, student visas, spousal visas, and many other options are available for aspirants to become Canadian citizens.
On Saturday, Canada’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship in a post on X stated that the government can ban visa applications in case of fraudulent documents.
“Visa applicants can be banned from entering Canada for five years,” it stated, highlighting that document fraud was a serious crime in the country.

The department mentioned that it was illegal to lie or send false information or documents to it. The department describes it as “misrepresentation”.
It can involve either falsifying or altering documents, such as:
“You are responsible for all the information in your application, even if a representative fills it out for you. If you send false documents or information, we can refuse your application and forbid you from entering Canada for at least 5 years, among other consequences,” it said.
