Hey everyone!

So there is this question on the application form that says "Have you been refused admission to Canada or any other country"... Can somebody explain what this means? My UK tourist Visa got rejected 2 years back and it is in my previous passport. Of course I have to submit that but just curious that what do I answer to that question? And if a UK tourist visa is rejected does that mean the processing would be delayed as they might consult with UK embassy?

The answer is YES. You lie and get caught, it is now a 2 year ban for misrepresentation.

(1) if you applied to the uk embassy as a visa applicant and they refused to issue you a visa then don't write yes. write NO instead.
(2) if you went to uk and then u were removed from uk OR if you reached the uk airport and then from there (airport or any port of entry) you were refused admission then write YES.
I have also applied for a canada visa. Previously I was refused uk visa 2 times.I have also written NO.
hope this helps

Thanks everyone!

@PMM: You are right! but the post by always optimistic confused me again.

@Alwaysoptimistic: Thanks for the answer buddy. Did you receive your approval? Also have you checked with people before writing no. Actually I really don't want to end up being portrayed a liar as mentioned by PMM and on the other hand IF refused admission doesn't mean visa rejection, then why should I give them a weak link.

My simple question is, refused admission and visa rejection are two different things right?

they usually ask about entry and in that case you have to answer no, because rejection of visa is not the same as the rejection at the port of entry.

Well yes it does make sense that they are talking about of port of entry not visa. Because the question before it talks about visa. Anyway on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's checklist from where I am applying it says: "You may submit previous passports to show travel history"... It's not mandatory to submit previous passports right?

Except they are not. You apply for a visa for admission, it was refused.

Soon!
The people at the port of entry have the right to deny you entry even if you have a valid visa. Applying for a visa is NOT applying for admission; you apply for admission at the port of entry USING your visa.
