Can an applicant be denied entry to the United States if they fail to produce proper documentation?

Nadon J. referred to the case of Kaur v. MCI (1995), 98 F.T.R. 91 (F.C.T.D.) and said: Where documentation is properly sought by the visa officer and is not produced, the applicant cannot be granted admission, as she is a person who has not complied with a request lawfully made under the Immigration Act.

The facts in Hao v. MCI, [2000] F.C.J. No. 2013 (F.C.T.D.), are likewise similar to those in the case at bar, since the applicant had made his application for permanent residence in the "investor" class, but had not presented sufficient evidence to enable the visa officer to draw a favourable conclusion. Pinard J. stated: In my view, the visa officer's contention was proper and he denied the visa on appropriate grounds, namely, that in the absence of the documentation he had requested, he was unable to verify the admissibility of the applicant with respect to section 19 of the Act.
