In this critical episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, Mark Holthe and Alicia Backman-Beharry dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet high-stakes sections of the Express Entry process: the statutory information questions in your eAPR. Whether you’re answering questions about criminal history, prior visa refusals, or previous refugee claims, one careless answer—or a failure to disclose—can result in a finding of misrepresentation and a five-year bar from Canada.
Mark and Alicia walk through real-world scenarios, key case law, and provide actionable advice for how to navigate this sensitive part of the application. This episode is a must-listen for anyone preparing to submit their Express Entry application and unsure how much to disclose.
