Hello
@Miss bee . I hope you are doing well and thank you in advance for your response.
I have a query about declaring our flagpoling experience in our pr application.
1. When I submitted our pr app, we answered “yes” to the question “Have you ever been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, any country or territory?”
— we have flagpoled my husband’s new open work permit in January 2024. I only accompanied him and he is my dependent as I already got my PGWP. We were given the usual administrative refusal at the US border and was sent back. He then got his work permit at Canadian Port entry successfully.
Did we do the right thing by answering “yes” to this question to disclose the flagpoling? Was it considered a refusal and should be disclosed in this part?
2. Our current PR status is now on background check and we already passed the medical too. Recently, we got an ADR for Schedule A IMM 5669 and Travel History form..
Is it right to keep our answer “yes” to this question
“Have you ever been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, any country or territory?” when we complete the IMM 5669 form again or change it to no? I am not really sure about the refusal. Would that impact our app?
3. We forgot to include the flagpoling date in our Travel history when we submitted our application. Should we include it now with the ADR of travel history we just received?
4. We do not have a US visa. When I click the “?” in the tab Travel History for this ADR, it says:
Document: Travel History
You must provide information on your valid visa from the United States as well as previous travel history. This can include copies of
- your previous passports and/or visas (used within the last 10 years to travel outside your country)
- entry and exit stamps
- study and/or work permits that indicate your duration outside of your country
- expired or valid visas
- boarding passes
If you hold a valid visa from the United States, provide a clear, scanned copy of your visa. If you are living outside your country of citizenship, please submit a copy of your immigration status document for the country where you currently reside. This could be a work permit, study permit, visa, or any other document that authorizes you to be in the country where you are living.
—However, we do not have a US visa when we did the flagpoling. What documents should we attach in this case?
5. Also, In the travel history form, should we include the layovers we had from Canada back to our home country?
6. Lastly, Are the ADRs we received are for the flagpoling we did in 2024? Is this something to worry about? I am worried with the right documentation to provide along the requested forms.
Thank you again
@Miss bee and looking forward to reading your helpful insight.
