Really IMP for all US visited guys..Will CIC crosscheck this..anybody?

[Ordinary]

I have been to USA and dont remember employment and other info i entered on US visa form before getting visa.
Now if by mistake I enter different info while submitting post ITA application than info entered on US visa, will that cause refusal?
Will CIC verify info with my USA info. entered on visa application form?

Yes it may cause a refusal because CIC will always cross check the info provided with US records.

I don't think USA and Canada share their databases in this way. While filling form for US Visa, the information we enter is protected under Privacy acts and the US Immigration authorities will not just share it with anyone, at least not without our prior consent.

I second this reply.

Canada and US do share visa and immigration information.

Agreed that the Visa information from the US will not be shared. But you would need to provide a FBI PCC if you have stayed in US for more than 6 months at a stretch.

Also 2 things to remember

1. Enter/submit the same details as you entered while creating your EE profile. Mis-match of details will lead to rejection.

2. You need to get your timelines correct. in supplement forms like Schedule A, 3, etc.. where you need to enter all activities like education, work history, travel and residence. You have to make sure your get your story/time lines absolutely correct here... any mis-match might cause doubts in VO's mind and may lead to rejection.

America and Canada do share immigration records.

CIC can look up to what is printed/ stamped on your passport for any visa, like the immigration dates, I94 n all ... beyond that looking up your immigration records with any country is highly unlikely in a regular and normal processing.

Not quite true. You can search this forum and you will find several cases were ppl being refused for non disclosing previous visa refusal in US and even in UK.

AMERICA AND USA SHARE INFORMATION ESPECIALLY IMMIGRATION RECORDS! I've never been to the US and stated this on my application yet when I received my GCMS Notes I saw that they had searched for my records in the US database and the conclusion was 'NRT' which I eventually found out meant No Reportable Trace.

Agreed. Canada and the United States share immigration information under the Immigration Information Sharing Treaty. You can read about it here:

Hi Anya,

I have a question. I went to Canada US Border to take a PGWP via flagpoling. As you might now, flagpoling is a process where you tell the US authorities that you are here for flagpoling and then they give you a letter of administrative refusal to enter US, and also tell you that it is nothing to worry about. We are NOT refusing you to enter US, just giving you an administrative refusal so that Canada takes you back and you can do flagpoling at Canadian port of entry. Since they gave me an administrative refusal for flagpoling, should I have answered "have you been denied entry to any country' as Yes? I have answered it No. Should everything be fine here?

thanks in advance

Honestly I'm not really sure. However I think if they collected your personal details and stamped refusal on your passport then you should have answered yes but explain that it was for flagpoling.

No, nothing was stamped on my passport by US authorities
