Expert Support for Addressing Procedural Fairness Letters Before a Final Refusal.
A Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL) is a formal notice from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) indicating that your application may be refused due to specific concerns. Before making a final decision, IRCC is required to give you an opportunity to respond – this is known as your “right to procedural fairness.”
Receiving a PFL is serious. It means the visa officer has found inconsistencies, doubts, or potential misrepresentations in your application. How you respond to a PFL can determine whether your application is approved or refused – and whether a misrepresentation finding could affect future applications.
The common reasons for receiving a PFL:
β Inconsistent or misleading information in your forms or documents
β Concerns about the genuineness of a marriage or common-law relationship
β Suspicion of employment fraud or fake job offers
β Questions about academic transcripts or work history
β Misrepresentation under Section 40 of the IRPA (a serious finding leading to a 5-year ban)
β Doubts regarding intent to leave Canada (for TRV or study permit applications)
β Issues with inadmissibility on medical, criminal, or financial grounds
