It is a crime to send false information to IRCC

It is perilous to lie or send false documentation and information to Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This crime is called “misrepresentation” and is fraudulent.

This misrepresentation can include the altered or fake documents, like:

• Passports and travel documents
• Visas
• Diplomas, degrees, and apprenticeship or trade papers
• Certificates of birth, marriage, final divorce, annulment, separation, or death and
• Police certificates

It would be best if you didn’t lie during the interview with an IRCC officer, as this also is considered a crime.
