Hafeez is applying under the Federal Skilled Worker Class and has run into problems. He has come to you seeking advice. On his initial application he did not indicate that he has a criminal record in his country of Citizenship. After questioning Hafeez and conducting some research, you determine that the crime he was charged with would not be equivalent to an offence under any Act of Parliament in Canada as it was a municipal matter. What should you advise Hafeez to do?

Select one:

a. Advise Hafeez that he must submit an application for approval of rehabilitation and advise the visa office accordingly.

b. Immediately disclose the discrepancy in the information on his application to the visa office; advising him that to do otherwise is misrepresentation.

c. Tell Hafeez that there is no need to disclose the discrepancy to CIC, as this offence would not render him inadmissible to Canada under IRPA.

d. Advise Hafeez that since he has a criminal record, he is inadmissible and he should withdraw his application.
