I got a 5-year ban: now what?

More often than not, we have clients coming for Consultation after they already have faced a 5-year ban. Of course, that is not the best situation to deal with but having said that, all is still not gone, you can still request for a reconsideration of decision with legal explanations backed by strong documentary evidences should your situation permit.

Though the success rate of these kinds of applications are very low, if done properly and if your specific situation demands, there still remain a possibility that the ban would be waived off.

There are still many parts of the world where unlicensed agents work on clients’ applications though they are not permitted to by the Canadian law. Because of their lack of understanding of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of Canada and the Regulations, they tend to put incorrect answers in the application form and sometimes present fraudulent documents as well. The result? Clients face the hit.

If you are able to reasonably prove that in spite of the best of the efforts from your end, the situation went out of your control or that everything was done by the agent keeping you into the dark or it was simply it was an error of decision making at IRCC’s end - you could still save your situation, provided a proper and legal reconsideration request is being put forward.

We, at Nuvonation, specialize in responding to the Procedural Fairness Letter and the Letter of Inadmissibility and if you need our legal and professional assistance with this, please consider booking a Consultation as the very first step, let us go through your documents, your case in detail and hopefully in the end, you know what to do next, why and how.

Thank you for reading.
