Basically, my immigration consultant told me that I do not have to declare my US student loans because they are not connected to my proof of funds and not even from the same country as my bank. However, when I applied for a US f1 visa a couple of years back (which was denied) I mentioned to the visa officer that I will be paying with cosigned US student loans. Will IRCC find out about this detail, if the visa officer wrote it down? When I asked my immigration consultant, she said that there is no evidence that IRCC looks this deep into the US database beyond criminality, visa rejections and violations.
Canada and US information sharing: Notes from US visa officer included?

Well if one of the reasons your US visa was denied was due to the loans then you should ensure you share that with any Canadian immigration application. Just because a consultant implies they doubt IRCC looks that deeply does not make it necessarily so. Always keep in mind it is your application not the consultants so any omissions or misrepresentation are down to you not your consultant . Decision is yours to make but you are obviously concerned else you wouldn’t have asked the question.
Information sharing agreements are reciprocal. Base your application on them being able to see everything
