Yes they absolutely do! Infact it was stated in my GCMS notes that they checked my details against the US database.

I overstayed USA for 2.5 months. USA bans for 3 yrs if overstayed for more than 6 months. I got my FBI PCC clear and I know that I am not banned. Do you think overstaying will be problem for my CANADA PR? Where I can mention my overstaying post ITA? Thanks

Overstaying won't be a problem. Do not mention it on your application, it isn't necessarily.

1) If you were banned, it wouldn't be on your FBI PCC. That is for crimes and arrests only. It's not a crime to overstay in the US. 2) If you were not removed or asked to leave the US, no need to mention it. The PR application asks quite thoroughly about visa denials and removals, but not about overstays. You're good.

Thanks Anya & dobes. Actually my university was closed due to some issue, so US authorities cancelled student visa of all students. Then all students were given two options
1. Transfer to other school in USA through reinstatement of status
2. Leaving USA for good

So what should I answer for question "Have you ever asked to leave any country?" Yes or No

Also in case I get schedule A form it has "Status in Country" column in "10 Yr History" section. What should I mention in that column for period where I was overstaying(2.5 months)?

Answer Yes. One of the options you were given was being asked to leave the country. It doesn't matter and it won't have negative repercussions on your application. If CIC ever ask you for reasons, you can explain to then in exactly the same way as you explained it here.

Also in case I get schedule A form it has "Status in Country" column in "10 Yr History" section. What should I mention in that column for period where I was overstaying(2.5 months)?

I imagine you can say Unemployed and explain it separately with a short note.

Asivad,

Thanks for the reply. Just one thing to add, even before US authorities asking,,i had booked flight back to my home country. When I received mail from them about different options, I told them about my booked flight. Then they acknowledged my mail and asked to maintain contact with them until I leave USA and then I left USA.

Will above info change your previous answer? Thanks

You are asking this question repeatedly ONLY because you are apprehensive that answering 'Yes' to that question might have an impact on your application. Let me reassure that it won't. It is being asked for the sake of full disclosure and would be a problem only if there were any illegalities involved which would then reflect in your criminal record (which is not the case here).

As an example, when I filled my 2nd application I answered Yes to both of those statutory questions even though I haven't been refused a visa by any country including Canada. I still answered Yes because they did refuse my application and it is in spirit of full disclosure. I repeat, answering Yes to those 2 questions would make no difference to your application unless there are other hidden skeletons in that closet. If there are none, don't worry about this and just answer Yes.
