Statutory question about PR rejection from other countries..

[AshfaqMemon]

Hi all,
I had received an ITA and already submitted my file.

There was a statutory question "Has xxx been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?"

I have been staying in Singapore for many years on work permit and I had applied for PR and it was rejected. The PR system in Singapore is based on race quota and it is completely normal to get a PR application rejected here and, one can continue to stay in Singapore with valid work permit after the PR rejection.

I answered the above question as NO while submitting the application and now I feel that I should have answered as YES. Should I raise a webform to clarify? Will raising a webform raise red flags like why I didn't say YES in the first place?

You should raise a webform. Regardless of the reason, we ought to declare all rejections.

I am in the same situation. I applied my Canadian study permit with mentioning NO as I thought it referring to temporary visa or permit. But now after seeing the PR form I realized that the Singapore PR rejection would be a refusal too.
Did you submitted a webform and how does it go? Do you have a Canadian study permit or work permit previously without declaring it? Many thanks!
