Ys, make sure to answer yes to both statutory questions that deal with rejections and add an explanation with your situation in your LOE.

I had a similar issue and as long as you are open and honest about it, it should not have any impact on the success of your application.

Do you mean both these questions should be Yes?


Has <Spouse name> you been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?

Has <Spouse name> ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

Thanks,

Exactly. Mark both questions as yes and add an explanation as part of your Letter of Explanation or Cover Letter to explain the circumstances around the cancellation or refusal.

Cic just wants you to be honest about any issues you or your spouse might have had.

That way you avoid running into any issues down the road.

I did the same on my application.
