Guys what is the difference between these two questions and which one in related to mention previous tourism visa refusal ?

Has xxxxxxi been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?

Has xxxxxxxxxx ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

So the first one is you being refused a refugee, PR visa, visitor visa, temporary visa or any province of Canada including Quebec?

Second is you are ever ordered or denied entry to Canada or any other country?

First one is related to tourism.

Don’t worry. As long as you have raised a webform, you are good. Ircc make note of your webforms, they don’t reply unless additional information is needed.

Hi everyone, so my parents are on PGP and got their PR visa yesterday. Back in October 4 (2 years in the application), we submitted a webform as well as sent an email to our local visa office for additional disclosure regarding refused US visa that we forrgot to declare. Today, one day after receiving the visa, we got an email from CEC acknowledging receipt of documents and that its added to the file.

Will this cause an issue with our visa now? like would it get revoked or go back to processing? My parents are planning to land next week.

Please please please advise if anyone has a similar issue

Have an eye on the application approval status. If it goes back to processing, they will be asked to go back to the home country until the PR application is back to finalized.

Yeah! I have been checking obsessively. But if it remains as approved and visa in the counterfoil remains "Your document is valid" then should be good to still fly out right?

Has to be in that status when they land and go through immigration . Try calling IRCC, just to be safe.

@legalfalcon I would appreciate your advice. Last month, an immigration lawyer submitted a PR application on my behalf & I haven’t received an application number yet. On the application I didn’t mention that a petition to change my status from opt to h1-b within the US was denied. It skipped my mind because I don’t think a change of status petition is a visa application per se.

I am now applying for a work permit on my own and would like to disclose this information. Should I also submit a webform disclosing the same info once I receive the no. for my PR application?

Hello,
I forgot to disclose a visa refusal; however, I received a study permit and visa.
Now, I would like to apply for PR. (I have not applied yet)

I spent some time reading Q&As in this thread. I will definitely answer truthfully this time, but I wonder if I should elaborate on my mistake in the LoE.
The officer may not even notice the inconsistency. The question is not about the previous applications either. Isn't it somehow highlighting your problem without being asked for it? The truthfull answer isn't enough?

I wonder if people who went through these stages have something to tell?
@legalfalcon I appreciate it if you could let us know your opinion in 2022 :)

Thank you,

Usually, a change of status is not a new application for a visa or to enter the Country. So if you did not disclose it, it would not be fatal. However, to err on the side of caution you should disclose it.

You can just send a webform to IRCC and inform them. No big deal.
