Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives Mailbox
Please note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific inquiries but
have provided the following information as guidance. If you have case specific questions about a file, you are encouraged to
submit the IRCC Web form.
Please see our response to your question:
The applicant is required to be forthright and truthful. If there is confusion as to whether to answer “yes” or “no” toa
statutory question because the “no” answer is debatable,
then they recommend erring on the side of caution and declaring “yes”, and then allowing the IRCC officer to make a fully
informed decision on the information you provide.
We hope this is of assistance.
Thank you kindly,
[requester]

Respected [requester] a query related to the Statutory questions on the Permanent resident application as follows-
if someone's USA visa has been revoked at the border due to unknowingly carrying a smoking pipe in the luggage, how would
we answer these questions on the statutory declaration-
1, Has XXX been convicted ofa crime or offence in Canada for which a pardon has not been granted under the Criminal
Records Act of Canada?
2. Has XXX ever committed, been arrested for, been charged with or convicted of any criminal offence in any country?:
(required)
3. Has XXX been refused refagee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de seilection du
Queibec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other
country? (required)
01187
4. Has XXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country? (required).
lis important for me to get the correct information, so as to avoid the issues of misrepresentation forthe actual fling ofthe
applicant's Permanent residence application.
Since we only have 30 days to file the PR application, a quick response back would he highly appreciated.
