Document fraud is a serious crime in Canada. It is against the law to lie or send false information or documents to IRCC. It’s called misrepresentation and can involve either falsifying or altering documents, such as: • Passports and travel documents • Visas • Diplomas, degrees and apprenticeship or trade papers • Certificates of birth, marriage, final divorce, annulment, separation or death • Police certificates You are responsible for all the information in your application, even if a representative fills it out for you. If you send false documents or information, we can refuse your application and forbid you from entering Canada for at least 5 years, among other consequences.
