Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all well. I had applied for a non-express entry PNP and had the following question in the background questions section. On the form itself I had answered “YES” to both the question below and the question that asked if I’ve ever been denied a refugee, permanent, provincial or temporary or visitor visa.

For a little background, I was refused a Canadian student visa/permit the first time I applied and it was approved when I re-applied immediately after the refusal. I’ve declared this in my application.

I’m not all too sure about the question below and need some advice from senior experts on this forum if I’ve answered this correctly. I’ve been as truthful and transparent as I can. Will the below get me flagged for misrepresenting because of my last two paragraphs in my answer?

the background questions and answers i need help in. This is what I included in my letter of explanation (LOE):

The Question:
Have you or your family been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country or territory?

My Answer:
The only reason I have answered YES to this question is because I had a Canadian Student Visa/Permit refusal when I initially applied. (I mentioned this in the previous background question).

Other than the Canadian Student Visa/Permit refusal mentioned above (which was later approved), I have always been granted entry/admission at the port of entry/border in Canada or any other country/territory I've traveled to. I have also never been ordered to leave Canada or any other country/territory after entering the country.

I'm unsure if the "refused admission to" portion in question 5 includes a visa refusal. For this reason, I just answered YES in this question.

If, however, the "refused admission to" portion in this question doesn't include a visa refusal, and the question only asks if l've been refused admission/entry to Canada or any other country or territory at the port of entry/border, then please note my answer for this question is NO.

I don't have a spouse, common-law partner, or any dependent children. Therefore, I have answered this question only for myself.


I personally think it should be fine but I’m too panicky at the moment.

Any chance of that the last two paragraphs or any portion of my answer get me flagged for misrepresenting?



Thank you for your assistance Seniors :)

I’m in the same boat. Final Decision - July 6, 2023 but still says application in progress. I checked the tracker and I see COPR details but no portal yet. It also says Eligibility - Not Started but everything else is green. Is that normal?
Did you receive portal 1 email??

no not yet. I’m gonna call them on monday and see. COPR date has been issued since June 19 apparently. About the same day that my medical info was updated (they added a year into my medical expiry) but I was exempted cause they used my old medicals.
It happened to me as well..on July 6th my medical got updated with extended medical expiry date as i was also exempted bcoz of my old medical..but COPR details are not updated yet...

I think my VO is still Sydney, NS. But also haven’t received any of my gcms notes that I ordered months ago. They said mine will take longer than expected and is due to be finished by July 27, 2023 or something.
I have the same AR date as you, I am waiting for my GCMS notes as well. Check my timeline out. I think my security is stuck for a while now. :( I hope it clears soon, as it has been 8 months since the last update.

Hi guys, I recently applied for Ontario non EE stream. I haven't got my AOR yet but I was wondering if I should book my medical exam so I can have it ready if they ask for it? Is it better to wait till they ask or should I book it in advance to keep things moving faster? Thanks in advance for your help

You should wait for their instructions however if you ever done medical exam in last 5 years before for CIC, you are exempt from doing another one . Doing upfront medical can make things confusing and complicated.

It is only advisable to do upfront medical before submitting an application. Several posts and threads in this forum shows significant delays after applicants submitted an "upfront" medical after submitting their applications. You can book an appointment, but what if you don't get an MR by the time of your appointment?. Still, your choice.
