If you don't tell them, they would discover any way and ban you for misrepresentation.

There is literally no harm in informing about refusal. If there are grounds for you to get approved, you would still get approval. If there aren't, then avoiding earlier refusal won't improve things in any way.

US , UK , CANADA they share border information so they will know you were refused previously and if you will misrepresent you might get ban for 5 yrs

That is incorrect. Though it would have been better if you simply had put this information in the application.

If you inform them upfront yourself (before they find out), specially with the case where you got US visa latter and have traveled before, they likely would ignore this as a mistake, rather than a misrepresentation.

Oh and as mentioned already by another fellow, they do find these things out - any travel any where in the world would eventually show up.

Even worst situation is - you get a visa (visit, work, worst even PR) and they discover it latter, at which point they would invalidate your entire profile.

People have been stripped off their citizenship years latter for past misrepresentation discovered latter on their profiles. Don't do it, specially you are doing it for the wrong reason.

To answer your last part, i had a us visa refusal, and latter an approval with valid visa before applying for Canada. I did declare it on my work permit / TRV application and it doesn't matter at all.

There have been countless cases where people have had visa refusals, they inform CIC appropriately and get through.

Yes - of course it's compulsory to mention the refusal. If you lie in your application and try to hide the refusal - your application will be refused for misrepresentation and you can expect to be banned from Canada for five years.
