Statutory questions after ITA

[Srukar]

Hello Folks, I was refused a US L1B Visa in 2013 at an US consulate in INDIA. I have below doubt in two statutory questions

Has xxx 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 xxx ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

Do i need to answer yes to both?

 

[denzrambo]

answer for the questions should be in similar way.I had a B1 visitor rejected at Consulate before my H1B was approved


d) been refused refugee status, 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? YES
e) been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country? NO


below has a conversation on the same tone

The question 6.e also says that the been refused for a visa so i got confused. Since both questions talk about visa do we need to write Yes for both of them.

You were only refused a visa at consulate .If you were ever deported or refused admission at border you should answer youre 6.e question as "YES".Otherwise the above details hold right.

Yes to both.

Both questions pertain to “visa refusal”.

 

[denzrambo]

Yes to both.

Both questions pertain to “visa refusal”.

I believe the second question do not pertain to visa refusal.this is related to schedule a background/declaration which states the question as below


d) been refused refugee status, 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?
e) been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country? This wouldn't have anything to do with Visa

The Schedule A and eAPR statutory questions are worded differently.

The eAPR questions are the one posted by OP on his first post (which I quoted).

The Schedule A (IMM5669E) questions are the one you posted, on which the question “been refused a visa or permit” is not there. I know it is confusing but that’s CIC.

Srukar,


my bad! i was sorry i read the status to be for schedule a


please go as per iamxty .You answer yes to both

 

[Srukar]

Thanks denzrambo, iamxty. I will answer yes to Both.

Also, I am submitting my EApr soon. Do you guys think i need to submit the Schedule A (IMM 5669E) upfront along with LOE since i am answering two of the statutory questions as "Yes"?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, upload it too. I also uploaded it upfront.
But in the Schedule A, answer Yes to 6d only. You don’t need to explain why you are attaching the Schedule A upfront.

In eAPR where you enter explanation for the refusal, I wrote “(Schedule A attached in the Letter of Explanation placeholder)”

Thanks again iamxty.

Also, I have the below questions can you please share your thoughts.

1. In the Schedule A, When we fill the education history - Do i need to write it from the secondary level onwards? The reason i ask this is, in eApr i just mentioned my bachelors and Masters information. Is it enough if i write the same in Schedule A.

2. Do i need to upload transcripts for the Bachelors and Masters education along with the final degree?

3. My Employer gave me an reference letter but they did not mention previous designations. They confirmed the same via email that its not their policy to give out that information. So i am planning to write an LOE mentioning the same and attaching the email confirmation from employer.
Should i list down my previous designations in the LOE ? My problem is that my company was taken over by another firm after 2 yrs of my joining. But the final service certificate has the new firms name for my entire work experience, the same was provided in the reference letter. So some of my proofs for the previous designations will have the old company information. Do you think i will be confusing the Officer by mentioning all this info? Will it be better for me to just mention the designations in LOE without proofs. Let me know your thoughts.

1) Same as eAPR
2) Final degree and WES should suffice
3) There are different opinions on this. Personally, I only put my current designation as in the reference letter. I was promoted on the same week I got the ITA.

I suggest you follow the reference letter with regards to the designation and company name so as not to confuse the reviewing officer.

If you feel you need to upload other supporting work-related documents with your previous designation and/or company name, then you need to write an LOE for those.

All the best.

Hi everyone.
i have a similar query regarding two statutory questions.

Has xxx 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 xxx ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

i was refused Canadian visitor visa, 2 years back. so should i say yes to both? and should i list all the things due to which my visa was rejected as listed in the rejection letter?
