212(a)(6)(C)(i) Material Misrepresentation

Upvote:5

212(a)(6)(C)(i) is a section of US immigration law, so it does not directly impact a Canadian visa application. Canada naturally has its own laws. You are not automatically inadmissible in Canada if you are inadmissible in the US.

However, many Canadian visa forms will ask something like "Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?" And then if you answer yes, they'll want an explanation. You should, of course, answer honestly, as further misrepresentation would only make your problems worse.

That explanation could be hard to provide, as countries do not look kindly on misrepresentations in visa applications, and your story is difficult to explain (you are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the documents you submit, not any agents). It may be best, though expensive, to consult a qualified Canadian immigration lawyer for advice on how best to make your case, as this is not a straightforward situation.
