Hi!

I was refused visit visas to the USA in November 1999 and May 2000. The reason they gave me was that I did not exhibit sufficient ties to my place of residence to guarantee my return. I requested them to trust me and told them that if I really wanted to immigrate, I would have immigrated to Canada, as I had a sister living there. But they were not convinced and I was refused the visa both times.

In January 2001, I applied for, and was granted, a visit visa to Canada. I went, stayed with my sister and her family for 45 days, and returned.

I think I did not mention in my application to the Canadian consulate that I had been refused the US visas (I do not remember exactly). And since then, I have neither applied to the USA nor to Canada for any type of visa whatsoever.

My question:

In form IMM0008 Schedule 1 (BACKGROUND / DECLARATION), do I need to mention that I was refused the US visas? Because just 8 months later, I received a Canadian visit visa. But what if they investigate and find that maybe I had not mentioned that I was refused US visa when applying for Canadian visit visa? Do you think it could affect my assessment?

On the other hand, not mentioning that I was refused US visas may also not be right. What if they check with US authorities and find out? Then I could be in trouble for supression of information.

What should I do?

It got nothing to do your application for Canada with your prior request for a US tourist visa. First because the reason of your denial was that you "didn't have enough ties with your home country", which is the most common refuse reason in 90% of cases. I know people who stayed over their limit in US (illegal) and still they applied for Canada without problems. In your application for Canada you must declare if you have ever applied for any kind of Canadian visa. So, it is not necessary to declare that you applied in 200X for a temporary US visa.

this statement is completely wrong. the application form explicitly asks if one has ever been refused any visa, anywhere, anytime.

yes you should in the schedule 1 section 9. though it should not matter but since they asked, you should mention it.

please also follow this (spaces removed)
