Good morning all,
Whilst filling the forms in MYCIC for PR application, I answered “Yes” to this question (6e): “have you ever been refused admission, to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country”
In June (11th), I received additional document request to re-fill Schedule A and provide further details and in which I responded with the following:
LETTER OF EXPLANATION: SCHEDULE A-BACKGROUND DECLARATION FORM (INN 5669)
Permit me to make the following clarifications as per above subject matter. In October, 2016 we (myself and dependants) applied for a two weeks visitor’s visa to United Kingdom for the Christmas holiday and in which our visa application was refused as evident on page 32 of our passport pages respectively; we later opted for the Christmas holiday in Ghana.
Whilst populating the questionnaire online on, I misconstrued visa application refusal for “refused admission to another country. Let me unequivocally state that there was never a time in which we (myself and dependants) were refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country rather it was a visa application refusal to United Kingdom.
Consequently, I have uploaded an updated and duly signed schedule A background declaration form (IMM 5669) for me as the Principal Applicant and spouse respectively attesting to the assertions made above.
Thank you.
I received PPR yesterday, and have been mandated to do the following:
Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature for you and your spouse: Scan the full document (side of previous scan was cut off):
> Make sure you answer truthfully to all questions. Amended Schedule A. Indicate your past history since you reached the age of 18 (despite what the form states). Specify what kind of work(s) you are doing and have been doing since then. Do not use acronyms. Make sure you do not leave any gap in time. Indicate all addresses since you reached the age of 18. Make sure you do not leave any gap in time. You must declare if you have been refused any visa or immigration applications in the past from any country. Failure to comply may result in a refusal of your application
I just realized that Q.6d of schedule A form states: “Have you been ever been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a certificate de selection du Quebec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial Nominee Program) or visitors or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?”
Q1: In my case, do I now own up to being refused visitor’s visa? ….Hope there won’t be any consequences
Thanks for the anticipated and timely feedback
