Dear Experts,

I applied for Canada TRV through local VFS here in Saudi Arabia on 6th Dec 2018 and current status is "Application is being processed at the Canada Visa Office, RIYADH.


Note: My U.S visa is valid for 10 yrs and it's a family application and VFS stamped application for processing under CAN+ category. I was also granted working holiday visa to the U.K during 2008 and 2010 and returned to my home country within the validity of my visa. However, I have been refused UK Tier 1 Visa during 2010 (Visa refused for submitting online bank statements) and I have also attached my old passports along with the application to Canada. Do they verify the information with the U.K immigration department for all applications?

While filling the application form I selected no for previous visa refusals without any intention of misguiding (just couldn't interpret the question correctly).

Kindly advice if I need to inform the visa officer about the mistake or wait for a decision. Since I don't want to jeopardize any future applications to Canada.

Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JM

Dear Bryanna,

Thanks for your quick response.

Also I visited local VAC today and they asked me to update the information through below link:

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=rome

I don't have a copy of refusal letter, can I just send them Application reference number and date?

Thanks again,
JM

All that's really needed for you to declare is the date (approximate month and year is OK if you don't remember exactly) of the application, the type of application, and the reason for refusal. If you have the reference number, that's also OK.

Hi Jawad17,

@Bryanna

Correct me if I am wrong. As he said his application is being processed at the Canada Visa Office in Riyadh why should he update his information through this link https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=rome. This link is belongs to rome. I think it should go to Riyadh visa office and if I am correct please follow this link below
