Misrepresentation allegations
Careful, evidence-based responses to allegations with lasting consequences.
A misrepresentation allegation is serious: a finding can lead to a multi-year inadmissibility. Often it begins with a procedural fairness letter — an opportunity to respond before any decision is made. The response, and its timing, can shape everything that follows.
Where things may stand
- A procedural fairness letter raising a concern
- A refusal citing misrepresentation
- An inadmissibility finding (for example, a five-year ban)
- Uncertainty about what has actually been alleged
How we help
- Reading the allegation precisely and identifying the real issue
- Building an evidence-based response within the deadline
- Advising on options where a finding has already been made
- Handling the matter with discretion throughout
Procedural fairness letters usually give a short window to respond. If you have received one, it is worth acting quickly.
