My Canada tourist visa was refused under 16(1) because I failed to disclose my previous visa refusal.


Can I reapply immediately ?

What can I do ??

No. I didn’t get 5 year ban. The letter says I’m free to reapply if I want to.

I am trying to know what to do now. Should I apply again ??

how do I address the problem or changes to the visa officer if I reapply ???

Whether you apply again is totally up to you. Obviously you should disclose your 2 refusals now and explain why you didn't disclose the 1st one. Presumably you made an error in not disclosing the 1st refusal?

Yes I made an error in not disclosing my 1st USA refusal.
Write a letter of explanation to address the issue, type of US visa applied for and why it was refused and why you didn't disclose it on your application, a lot of people misunderstand the question and think it is only asking about previous Canada refusals. You are very fortunate you didn't get a 5 year ban. Review your application thoroughly before resubmitting to make sure you haven't missed anything else.

Good luck.

Hey. Yes I got a correspondence letter.

The letter says refused under 16(1) because I failed to disclose my previous visa refusal.
