*Disclaimer*
All application types require full disclosure. For us to accurately assess and advise each client, we have to know of any detail that may potentially put an application at risk. An example of this is, – a sponsorship application where the Sponsor, that is, the Canadian, fails to mention that they have a registered bankruptcy on their personal financials. While bankruptcies are common in Canada, the immigration process disallows a Sponsor to complete an application process for a foreign national, and this will negatively affect the outcome. Mitigation may include, applying for an Absolute Discharge whereas the bankruptcy is deemed released from the legal obligation to repay debts that existed on the day the bankruptcy was filed. If/once an Absolute Discharge is granted, the Sponsor may apply for a foreign national (and must meet all other criteria).
Note, this is just one of many examples of why full disclosure is important. We hope you understand we want to see your application succeed.
