Guys
I need some advice, there used to be a question (im not sure if its still there) on paper based application for permanent resident that asked
"Have you, or, if you are principal applicant, any of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever, been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa including CSQ or application to the PNP or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?"

My PR application included me, my spouse and kids. However, my father was refused assylum in Canada way back in 2008. I answered this particular question as "No". I am confused if I did answer that correctly at that time. Because, I now wanted to apply for my father's supervisa and Im not sure if there will be any problem if I didnt answer that correctly.

Should I have said "Yes" or "No" was the right answer (what i understood that it asked about me, my wife and kids only who were applicants for PR and dependent on me). I didnot include my parents in PR application and neither added them as dependents.

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you all.
