Reapply after first denial

[Betheldol]

Is it there any possibility of getting your first application status even if you say no in the question of “ have you been deny visa entry to Canada or other countries?” Any consequences to that?

Your question isn't really clear. What do you mean when you say "getting your first application status"?

You must declare all previous refusals in your application - both those from Canada and other countries.

Oh! I meant is there any consequences if you say no. Probably you don’t want the officers to draw more attention to the first application that was denied.

If your first application was refused and then you reapply and answer "no" to the refusal question - then your second application will be refused as well. You may also be given a five year misrepresentation ban for lying in your application about the first refusal. If you are given the misrepresentation ban - then you will not be able to enter Canada for 5 years.

If your first application was refused then you MUST say "yes" to the refusal question in your second application.

Thanks so much for the answers. That was lovely. I was thinking it’s better to say no to avoid too much details and attention. Once again, thanks for those honest answers.

From my experience, it’s OK to “overstate” and explain briefly. I had two PR apps that were terminated and returned (over quota), and I declared them as two refused applications. No harm done (only the terminated app got counted as a refusal) and I got PR on that third try.

I don’t understand by what you mean “two PR apps that were terminated and returned”. As in terminated from their job or what?

several years ago, there was a law to terminate all PR apps that had not started processing to eliminate the large backlog. Mine, among hundreds of thousands, was affected.
