I suppose you are referring to the below question?
"Have you been refused admission to or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?"
If yes, my husband actually interpreted this question to mean visa denial and not entry denial (I guess a mistake on our part), infact that is why he stated in his travel history form that he was in China for 1 day since his visa was duly granted and he did made the trip with the visa. We didn't think the visa cancellation at the point of entry would raise eyebrow in our Express entry application, hence we would not have included his old expired passport that has the cancelled Chinese visa, we felt we had nothing to hide.
Our intended response to CIC (which is the truth) would state that he was denied entry because the Chinese airport officers that attended to him at the point of entry claimed his passport appeared damaged, a claim he countered but he was asked to go back to Nigeria to clear himself. Upon getting to Nigeria, he approached the immigration officers and his passport was declared authentic and in good shape. It was an official trip sponsored by his former employer so he didn't pursue the visa cancellation further. He just renewed his passport upon expiry and have done other foreign trips with the new passport (with the old one attached).
Tenable enough to CIC?
its okay, and pray also. Another thing is filling in the travel history that he spent a day in china, whereas he was denied entry. Lets hope for God's favour and the best. it will surely end in praise.
