ITA received - 31st July
Submitted - 16th September
P1 - 15th January
P2 - 16th January

Its been 2 months since then. Should I just wait for my Co-PR or call IRCC and check in with them?

 

[helsinki01]

No, I still have not received PPR/RFV and it's now been over 5 weeks since FD.

Did you get any update?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently filling out my Permanent Resident application under the Express Entry - Provincial Nominee Program (EE PNP), and I'm having trouble understanding the difference between two questions. Could someone please help clarify?

1. Has *** been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?
2. Has *** ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

16 years ago, in 2009, my application for a Canadian visitor visa was refused.

I'm unsure which topic I should select "Yes" for and provide additional details.

Thank you!

Simple:
Since your visitor visa to Canada was refused in 2009, the answer to both questions is Yes.

Let me elaborate a bit:
1) Yes to the first one because it specifically asks about any visa refusal (including visitor visas - THIS IS IMPORTANT! ) to Canada or any other country
2) Yes to the second one because it’s broader and also includes any kind of visa refusal, denied entry, or being ordered to leave

So yeah two questions , one answer.
Being honest is the absolute best thing to do here. Moreover , it won't negatively impact your application unless of course the cause for the refusal was due to some shady stuff like forged docs and such. And even then the best thing to do is to admit it because they most likely already know the answer.
