What To Know After Receiving Your ITA?
Once a candidate receives an ITA, the next critical step is to submit a complete application for permanent residence (PR). Once submitted, the candidate becomes an applicant.
It’s essential to note that misrepresentation in an application is taken very seriously. If IRCC determines that an applicant provided false or misleading information, even unintentionally, there could be serious consequences—including being banned from applying for Canadian immigration for five years.
Misrepresentation includes providing inaccurate details or omitting relevant information that could influence the decision on your application.
The applicant is responsible for ensuring all submitted documents are genuine and details are truthful. Even if an error was not made on purpose, it could still result in inadmissibility.
As IRCC continues to hold regular draws, staying informed and accurate in your application process is key to success under Express Entry.
