Case Study: Work Permit Refusal Due to Misleading Information
At Arnika Visa, we understand that even genuine mistakes can lead to significant challenges in the immigration process.

Background of the Case
Client arrived in Canada on August 26, 2021, after receiving approval for his study permit to pursue a master’s degree in civil engineering at Concordia University, Montreal. After successfully completing his studies, he obtained his final transcripts and graduation letter in May 2023 and applied for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP).
The Misunderstanding and Refusal of the Application
On July 10, 2023, the Client received a work permit refusal Canada letter regarding his work permit application. The refusal was based on a discrepancy related to his military service. In his original study permit application, he answered “NO” to the military service question, but in the work permit application, he answered “YES.” This inconsistency led to concerns about misrepresentation.
The client explained that this was a genuine human error. While completing his original application, he misunderstood the military question, believing that his obligatory military service should have been declared differently.
