As far as I know ..it should have been 'YES' as you applied for study permit and got it. for question related like " Has xxx been refused visa...." should be 'NO' as your study permit application was approved.

Inform it to IRCC as soon as possible and explain that you got confused or whatsoever the reason was. I think it will go through. I don't want to scare you but you know, at the end of the day the discretion lies with the powers of visa officer.

Its a confusing question IMO, I have studied in Canada as well but the question sounds more like "Have you applied for PR before?".
I answered with NO as well.

If you've applied for a study/visitor/work permit then the answer is "yes" to "has XXX applied to IRCC before?" question.

Period.

Really? I have to look at again.

I think in eAPR they ask - has the applicant applied for PR before ?

Folks,

I'm in the same boat and did the same mistake "just like everyone I know applying from Canada :D".. I answered "no" while ironically chose country of residence as Canada and mentioned that am a student and a graduate of Canada in the application :D..

Dear senior level forum members what should we do? If we fix it in eAPR and humbly explained in the LOE, would we be rejected?

Bumping this thread up.
Does anybody who made this mistake and raised a CSE got PPR recently ?
It will help others to know how this mistake affects your application.
