Important Reminder: Accuracy Is Everything
Receiving an ITA is only the first step. Candidates must submit a complete and accurate application for permanent residence in order to move forward.
Any false information or misrepresentation, whether intentional or not, can result in serious consequences—including a five-year ban from reapplying. Misrepresentation includes submitting fake documents, omitting key facts, or making false claims about work experience, education, or identity.
To avoid complications:
- Double-check all details in your profile before submission.
- Be truthful and transparent with all supporting documents.
- If you’re unsure, consult a licensed immigration professional before responding to your ITA.
