"Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?" Can anyone assist me in my situation.

[themalayman]

I voluntarily cancelled an Australian student visa offshore,through E-mail in 2014, since I decided to attend a prestigious university in my home country.

Should I tick "yes" or "no" for this question? Since I wasn't really refused or denied a visa, or ordered to leave.

Thanks for all the help

I would play it super safe and say yes to the refusal (and then explain that you were the one who actually canceled the visa). Technically this does not sound like a refusal at all but you sometimes never know how this might be interpreted by IRCC. There's no harm in declaring this and then explaining what it was. That's the safest path to me.

Answer is no. You were not refused or denied.
