Hello Guys,

I am applying for my Visit Visa to Canada for winter vacation. I visited Canada in early 2017.
Me and my wife got rejection of Schengen Visa from Greece due to some documentation issues in 2018. We found 2 mistakes which may be the reason but not sure. My Question is, shall i mention this in my Visit Visa form of Canada. There is not stamp on the passport. Please guide.

Thank you.

Yes - it's mandatory you mention all refusals. Failure to mention refusals is misrepresentation and may result in a 5 year ban from Canada. Even if your passport is not stamped, assume Canada can easily find out and access this information (it's shared between countries).

So just have to mention regarding the refusal of Schengan Visa? Do I need to attach the Refusal Letter.

What passport do you hold? What was the reason for the US and ESTA visa refusals?

British passport
Got 2 of mine us visa deniel with my previous travel document. Applied esta deniel with my british passport. I guess it was because I didn't declare the deniel on esta. So not authorised. I had to apply for us visa. Went there denied under 214 b just today. But I want to try canada for holiday instead.

You certainly qualify to apply for an eTA. Make sure you declare all of your previous refusals.

If possible, wait a number of months before applying for the eTA since the US refusal is so recent.

Hi, I am in similar boat. I had US B1 visa rejection 9 years ago but immediately reapplied after one week and got the same.

I travelled Canada in 2015 on TRV and in TRV app I did not mention about US visa rejection. Now I have applied for Canada PR and haven't mentioned the rejection in this PR app too. What should I do, should I explain it in a CSE?
Hi, Rahul, did you mentioned about your US visa rejection to IRCC and if yes, did you faced any problem or was lucky to receive PR

hi,
I applied for canada study permit back in nov2019 for jan intake but unfortunately my visa got refused because I forgot to mention about my previous visa refusal of Australia back in 2015. As I was a minor my parents filled up my form and in 2017 I got the Australian visa. So I totally for that I had a visa rejection. I just turned 18last year. So This time I applied for the study permit again for September intake mentioning my previous visa refusals and why I failed to mention it as it was a genuine mistake by me . My question is what are the chances of me getting the visa this time?
