I've posted this in the foreign workers section and got no answers as of yet, so I'll re-post it here.
So I have once been refused admission into the US while trying to take a legitimate vacation while awaiting my LMO. How will this affect my future work permit, provincial nomination and permanent residency applications? They all seem to ask the question of if I've ever been refused a visa, admission, ordered to leave or deported from Canada or any other country. I was refused admission (application withdrawal) because the US border officers thought that I was going there looking for work. Miscommunication with my one of my vacation hosts over the phone (who is actually going senile) made them believe that, combined with my current unemployment while trying to vacation for a few weeks (that are still well within the 90 day limit).
Since the incident, my hosts have since gotten a doctor's note outlining how his mental condition could have affected US customs' phone call to the person who answered. Also, his wife has also written a note apologizing for the event and retracting what he said. Also, I have a few emails that I sent to one of my friends a few weeks BEFORE the incident where I mentioned "going on vacation" (not looking for work). In fact, in my emails to my friend and my sworn statement to US customs, it is mentioned that I'm actually awaiting an LMO from Canada and have been applying to Canadian jobs during my time of unemployment, and that the purpose of my vacation was to take a break from job-hunting for a while. I had just found someone willing to get me an LMO (which is still in the works), and decided to celebrate by finally taking a break elsewhere staying with family friends.
Other than this, I'm not a criminal, have no criminal record, never overstayed any visas (including a previous Canadian visa), and have never been deported for any country for anything. Will this negatively affect my work permit application and/or other future applications?
