Nomination Certificate Withdrawal

A Nomination Certificate may be withdrawn under the following circumstances:

If we receive information from IRCC or other sources that fraud or misrepresentation has taken place in your application;
If circumstances have changed after your nomination and you are no longer meeting the conditions of your nomination;
If you or your representative, if applicable, have voluntarily requested to withdraw your nomination or you have been approved for PR through an immigration program other than the SINP; and/or
If SINP has been notified that you have been approved for permanent residency (PR) through an immigration program other than the SINP.
We will examine each individual case to determine whether we must conduct a Program Integrity Review related to the nomination certificate withdrawal. If an investigation is undertaken, then we may request information from the nominee

If, following an investigation, we find that a nomination withdrawal is warranted based on the circumstances above then we will withdraw the nomination certificate or support IRCC’s refusal of the nominee’s application for PR. The individual will then be notified in a letter sent by email from SINP or the IRCC. If misrepresentation is found to have taken place then the applicant may be suspended from using the SINP for two to five years in addition to the withdrawal of the nomination certificate.

If following an investigation, we find that a nomination withdrawal is not warranted then we will maintain the nomination.
IRCC has final authority to refuse a nominee's application for PR.

SINP may support IRCC’s decision to refuse your application for PR by withdrawing your nomination certificate if we are in agreement with the reasons of refusal. You will be notified of the decision by email from the SINP.

When conducting a review of a nomination certificate, IRCC will be contacted and the application for PR (on the basis of the certificate) will be placed on hold. We will inform IRCC of our decision to maintain or withdraw the nomination.
