An approval can feel like the end of the uncertainty. It is not always. A visa already in your passport can still be taken away, and the reason can carry consequences well beyond a cancelled trip.
Most travellers assume that once a visa is issued, the decision is final. In fact, Canadian law gives officers a defined power to cancel a temporary resident visa after it has been granted, and the circumstances are broader than people expect.
Under section 180.1 of the Regulations, an officer may cancel a temporary resident visa where, among other things, the holder is inadmissible, no longer meets or never met the requirements for the visa, or is subsequently refused another immigration document. Because misrepresentation under section 40 is a ground of inadmissibility, a concern about a false document or an inconsistent account can reach back and undo an approval.
The patterns are familiar. An employment or financial document that is later found to be fraudulent. A stated purpose that does not match reality, a short tourist visit that turns out to be months of study, with no return ticket to support the original story. What looked like an approved visa becomes a file reopened.
These letters usually allow only a short time to respond. The temptation is to explain quickly and move on. But the response can shape not just whether the visa is restored, but whether a misrepresentation finding, with its lasting consequence, is made. The difference between a careful response and a careless one is measured in years.

Book a Consultation获批，仿佛意味着不确定性的终点。但并非总是如此。一张已经在你护照里的签证，仍可能被收回，而原因所带来的后果，可能远不止"一趟行程被取消"。
大多数旅行者以为，签证一旦签发，决定就是最终的。实际上，加拿大法律赋予移民官一项明确的权力：在签证已获批之后将其取消，而且其情形比人们想象的更宽。
根据《条例》第180.1条，移民官可以在若干情形下取消一张临时居民签证，其中包括：持有人不可受理(inadmissible)、不再满足或从未满足签证要求、或其后被拒另一份移民文件。由于第40条下的误导性陈述本身就是一项不可受理理由，因此一个关于文件造假或陈述不一致的疑虑，可以回溯过去、推翻一次批准。
模式很常见：一份日后被发现造假的工作或财务文件；一个与现实对不上的申报目的，例如申报短期旅游却被发现是数月的学习、又拿不出支持原说法的回程机票。原本看似已获批的签证，就此成了一个被重新开启的档案。
这类信通常只给很短的回复时间。人很容易想赶紧解释一下、翻篇了事。但这份回复所塑造的，不仅是签证能否恢复，还有那个带着长久后果的"误导性陈述"认定是否会被作出。一份审慎的回复与一份草率的回复，差别要以"年"来计。
