Would this be considered misrepresentation???

[devine777]

a friend of mine applied under spousal sponsorship. The only thing that he is worried about are some under the table jobs he did in Canada and he did not report them in the Spousal application. He did not even mention about it to his lawyer. Would it be possible for Immigration to find out? He had reported them to his former caseworker as income before but canada revenue has no records of them..Would he be considered misrepresenting facts under spousal sponsorship?

Technically, I suppose this is misrepresentation.

If the jobs were off the books, how would CIC be able to find out? I highly doubt they're going to investigate, as this would be very time consuming.

Your friend is safe...not to worry.

Since he's working with a lawyer, it would be most appropriate to discuss this with his lawyer. After all, you don't want him to submit something directly to CIC and surprise his lawyer!
