SM3.10.1 False or misleading information in an Expression of Interest

See also Immigration Act 2009 s 58

1. It is sufficient grounds to decline a Skilled Migrant Category resident visa application if:
   1. false or misleading information is provided as part of an Expression of Interest (EOI) or associated submission; or
   2. relevant, potentially prejudicial information is withheld from an EOI or associated submission; or
   3. an applicant or their agent fails to advise an immigration officer of any fact or material change in circumstances that occurs after an EOI is submitted that may affect a decision to invite the person to apply for a resident visa or to grant a resident visa.
2. Information relating to a claim made in an EOI by either the person expressing interest or their agent that is factually inaccurate and is relevant to the issuing of an invitation to apply or the assessment of a resident visa application, will be considered misleading unless the person expressing interest can demonstrate that there is a reasonable basis for making that claim.
