not clear on backround question "refused admission to Canada?"

[Boncuk]

To make sure you answer truthfully.. and yes it is for visa applications as well as I said way up :) It's still being denied entry even from your own country. I answered YES

[MARLENA]

Boncuk have the right answer, I had called CIC-M when I completed my application and wanted to make sure since my husband was granted a visa, if I put yes or no to that specific question do they need an explanation.
They had confirmed if he was refused for a visa that I can give some explanation at the bottom.
So yes if you had refused for a visa visitor it's the same refused entering Canada.

so why they put three separate questions then? why not to mention everything in a one?

on the question 9 Schedule 1 Background Declaration they say:

Have you, or,  if you are the principal applicant, any of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever:

-  previously sought refugee status in Canada or applied for a Canadian immigrant or permanent residence visa or visitor or temporary resident visa?

- been refused refugee status in, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa to, Canada....?

- been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country?

how can your consultants explain that?

Boncuk, Marlena and I are just trying to help and prevent anyone from making mistakes when they fill out the forms.  WE didn't write the law nor did the consultants or lawyers.  The government did that.

You asked about these questions:

Have you, or,  if you are the principal applicant, any of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever:

-  previously sought refugee status in Canada or applied for a Canadian immigrant or permanent residence visa or visitor or temporary resident visa?
This question asks if you have ever APPLIED for any type of immigration status for Canada, NOT whether or  not you received it.

- been refused refugee status in, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa to, Canada....?
This question asks if you have ever been refused any application for immigration status to Canada.

- been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country?
This question does repeat what the previous question asks BUT it also asks about removal FROM Canada and ANY OTHER COUNTRY.

This form is the same for both visa-exempt and non-visa exempt countries.  They are being repetitive but they are trying to cover all scenarios from both types of countries.
