• Persons who have worked or studied without being authorized to do so as prescribed by the Act,
• Persons who have entered Canada without a visa or other document required by the Regulations,
• Persons who have entered Canada without a valid passport or travel document (provided valid documents are acquired by the time CIC seeks to grant permanent residence),
