You have to declare in your application you were refused Australian visa and give explanation.

Whether or not it will jeopardize your chance of getting Canadian PR is dependent on the circumstance surrounding the refusal, I guess. What was the misinterpretation, was it intentional or was it a genuine mistake. It all depends and don't think we can give you a definitive answer.

If you are worried you should probably consult an immigration lawyer.

If it is still at application level that you are rejected, so far you have the minimum requirement and eligible to apply for Canada pr you are good to go. There is no need to declare it but if your passport is stamped already, then, you just have to declare it because you will be asked to explain at a later stage of your application process.

They don't stamp your passport anymore. If your visa was refused, and you are asked the question when filling out Canada pr application, you have to answer truthfully.

Woah! OP, please don't listen to this, Ronkus2, please don't say this again. Canadian immigration forms ask many things, one of them is if you've ever been asked to leave, or refused status anywhere. If Australia have refused you, you MUST inform IRCC about this at the right question, it is NOT optional. Whether or not it causes an issue will depend entirely on why you were refused - if you just forgot to upload a form and ran out of time, probably little to no impact. If you lied on a form (like, eg, now claiming never to have been refused anywhere in the world), that could cause bigger problems.

Are you for real?? You are suggesting someone to lie on their Immigration Papers??

Declare it on your Application. Whether will this impact your Canada PR process or not is entirely left to CIC's discretion. What was the misrepresentation about?? Was it an intentional one or just an innocent mistake?? Good luck.

I understand what you mean to say. But you see Canada has a policy in which it demands info from potential PR candidates about their past history. And hence we are obliged to speak out the truth to them. Its how CIC works. Will other countries check the past history of candidates and is it politically or ethically correct in doing so, I do not know. Every country has its own rules and regulations. Good luck.

Thanks for the understanding. Let me explain to you from my own experience. I applied for Canada pr in 2014, that time there was no application no as it is now, it is paper base application then. I got rejected at early stage because the draft for processing fee l included was expired according to cic. All my papers was sent back to me, which means l don't have record with them. I applied for express entry in 2016 and l never mention it that l got rejected, since l know that there is no record. To God be the glory l have receive my passport back well stamped with COPR----This person is not a known person to me and he has already mentioned it that he/she got rejected for misrepresentation. No immigration officer will take misrepresentation of any form lightly. The solution will either be if he/she has no record with Australia immigration as the case may be, he/she can still apply or else he/she should just forget it---------This is just a suggestion

Your application was CANCELLED due to incomplete documents. It was NOT REJECTED. You need to know the difference between application rejection and cancellation. In the OP's case, based on his post, the application was REJECTED, hence should be declared.

Mind you, the processing fee draft was included not omitted, It was at the stage of processing that the officer noticed the date on the draft------- That could not have been a CANCELLED application as the covering letter states that "your application was rejected because your processing fee could not be processed as it has expired -------You are not an immigration officer, pls try to comprehend very well. I rest my case

Thank you all. I indeed appreciate all your responses .

Now below is the situation for clarity :
My former employer gave a contradicting information when contacted to verify my employment history during the verification/back ground check process. All efforts to prove to innocence/error were to no avail as the immigration department believe the misleading information received from my former company thus adversely affected my application. I was rejected with 3-years exclusion period. Now am just hoping this would not affect my Canadian PR process ..? I also intend to include only my current employer in Canada PR application for simplicity due to my past bitter experience hope this decision is okay?

I will be proactive to declare the rejection wit detailed information as advised .
