Hello Everyone,
Back in August my application for B1 US visa was rejected.
After that I applied for an LMIA based work permit for Canada. In the application, I misread the statement that said 'Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country'. I though they were only referring to Canada. Hence I did not declare my US visa rejection.
I still got my Canadian visa and have been living in Canada for the past few months.
Recently, I realised this mistake after I heard stories of people being banned from Canada for misrepresentation and it really freaked me out.
I have plans to apply for an H1B visa for the US or a Canadian PR in the coming months.
What should be my course of action now? Should I inform the IRCC about the mistake in my application or should I just provide the correct information in my PR / H1B application? What are the odds of me being charged with misrepresentation and the 5 year ban?
