"been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country?"

So.. This question is being asked on the background declaration form and I'm not sure on whether I should tick "yes" or "no"...

I was once refused a tourist visa to greece many years ago. Should I tick yes and explain below? The question is not very clear and I would appreciate some guidance. Thank you.

Yes and explain. A simple yes is not enough to get you refused. It depends on the reason of why you were refused and the verdict of the authorities. Not being truthful on the other hand can get you refused and banned into Canada

You should answer 'NO'. Being refused a visa is different from being refused admission. What I think it means is that u were initially granted a visa but were not allowed to enter the country at the border/airport during arrival. I answered 'NO' in mine. Others can weigh in as well on the topic.

Cheers.
