#122 – Misrepresentation for failure to Disclose a prior US visa refusal, with Andrew Hayes

Andrew Hayes is a US immigration lawyer who practices out of Vancouver. He joins us for a discussion about intersections between US and Canadian immigration law, with a focus on the implications of a US “Administrative Processing” decision — as defined by s.221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Andrew provides his opinion on whether such a decision is a “refusal” requiring disclosure in the Canadian immigration law context, while also offering numerous insightful comparisons between our own immigration scheme and that our our neighbour to the south. Note that Andrew has been on two prior episodes of the podcast — namely, Episode 37 (on the DACA Program) and Episode 41 (on Judges “Virtue Signaling”).
