Hello everyone. I have received an ITA recently under FSW category and currently filling the initial Permanent Residence application. There is a question under Personal history section which states "Has ABC ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?". In 2021 I entered Canada for the first time by road with my car on Rainbow bridge from USA using my tourist visa. On the Canadian side, they asked me to pull over to inspect my car as I brought a lot of items on it. The car had some bags which contained my sister's clothes and utensils (Sister is a PR holder). I told the border officer that it belonged to my sister after which he told me that he was sending me back to the US (Seems I was not supposed to bring third party goods). Hence I drove back to the US (Without any evidence or receipt from Canadian side about being denied), dropped my sister's luggage and entered Canada through Rainbow bridge within 30 minutes. The border officer on Canada could remember me and he briefly checked my car and let me in. I have visited Canada 2 times after this (On flight) with no further checking or questions.
So does my experience qualify as denial of entry or ordered to leave Canada? I am unsure of what to answer.
