Any previous visa rejections(any country) cause schedule A request?

No such correlation has been observed or reported. Schedule A requests are triggered if and when CIC wants the applicant (and/or spouse/common-law partner) to reconfirm all/parts of their travel/personal history. Not everyone who has reported a visa refusal gets a Schedule A request.
We did find it strange that my partner was asked to answer the statutory questions (about visa refusals, etc) on a Schedule A and specifically told to sign it - when he had already answered those questions on the PR application. He had never been refused a visa to anywhere, had never applied for a permit he hadn't gotten. We sifted very carefully through the questions, wondering if there was something he had forgotten to mention on the original application. There wasn't. We answered all the questions 'no', he signed, and that was it. In the end, we wondered if perhaps he had gotten the Schedule A request simply because he comes from a country that provides a lot of requests for asylum that are denied by Canada. We decided that must be it - but we will never know for sure. Even our GCMS notes held no explanation for why the Schedule A was required of him.Ordinary said:
