Dear aazhar,
Firstly, let me congrats you !! I have following questions ...
1) In 2010 and 2012 , you were rejected for which country ? Canada ?
2) When did you get this email from the VO ? I mean before you cleared this misconception ... you received an email from them that you misrepresented and all ... right ?
3) If so, then does this mean that for such scenarios , if someone forgot to tick YES while he was rejected sometime back for some country, then the visa officer does not simply reject the overall application but he asks for the clarification ... Or he simply rejects the application without asking ?

I had the similar case my wife was the main applicant this time and I just overlooked this question while filling my part in application and tick no for any past refusal which was basically in correct I got rejected twice once in 2010 and then in 2012 .The visa officer has ask us to provide reason for this misinterpretation and also warn us that this may lead to refusal .So we made it simple and provide him the correct reason that this was purely overlooked by us and was an administrative error from our side as we know that hiding such information will not add any good to our application and sincerely apologize him for this error .We also provide him whatever we had the email correspondence and some letters for the rejected application and we also mention since this was a very old case so we are providing you all the related correspondence which is available with us as this point of time . We didnt had any evidence or correspondence available for the first rejection as it got rejected in 2010 but we explain him the reason of the rejection that it was noc mismatch and whole parcel got return without having any file number .Than later on we received medical from officer after 15 days on sending this letter although he had provided us 30 days to respond to this query .The important part was that there was no file # generated for the first rejection by cic but still the visa officer had all the details for my first rejection in short they have the details for your past application even if they are rejected on first place.
