NEED HELP!

I got my Acknowledgment letter on 20th march. I forgot to mention my canadian tourist visa refusal (which was about 4 years ago) in my application. I have got an email asking to explain why I didn't mention the resusal. I got the Canadian student visa in 2017 (I didn't mention the tourist visa refusal for it either). The reason why I forgot to mention is because i didn't remember. It was an honest mistake. I applied for the Canadian tourist Visa while I was on a tour in US in 2014 And I misplaced the rejection letter and there are no rejection stamps on my passport either. Hence I forgot about the rejection. I am an indian national. Please give me some guidance as to what I should do now. Thanks in advance.
I think you should tell them the truth that you forgot and tell them what you said in your post above.

If you don’t mind, at what stage did you get this message? IP1 or IP2?

Thanks and best if luck.

I contacted IRCC and they told me I passed eligibility and my visa office is Ottawa,

What happens now? How long does the BG takes from your experience? I completed 100 days since my AOR and this is indeed stressful.

Thanks for the help in advance

no idea, but I tried calling just once - matched what's there in my CIC account. As such, if there's no issues with your application, just wait - the whole IP1 IP2 thingy is crap.

Thanks!! Yea i guess have to wait!!
I got 4 to 5 trips for my travel history. I think that might also affect my time for application approval. Any thoughts?

Got the golden email a few hours ago!
FSW-O. Single applicant.
AOR: March 20.
Medicals passed: March 27
IP1: March 27
IP2: June 15
Passport request email: June 20

Does anyone know if it makes any difference which passport (as I have 2 nationalities) I send? I have listed both my citizenships in my application of course. The panel physician used only one in the medical record. Do I need to send that one or do you think either will be fine?

And any idea how long it takes IRCC to send us back the passports once they receive it?

Goodluck to everyone!!!
