Guys,

I made a mistake by saying 'No' in Background information section, for previously getting refused to Canada.

My scenario is as follows,
1st attempt to get Study Permit VISA: Refused for not attaching fee receipt acknowledging fund transfer to the DLI.

Now, After refusal, I re-applied with the new set of documents. However, I made a mistake of not mentioning the previous rejection. Hence I raised a CSE (Case specific inquiry) and they responded today, albeit not clearly.

The said:
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Do not withdraw your current application.

Instead you must email the relevant visa office for your country of residence + include an new TRV form which correctly answers Question 2b + mention that you misunderstood the question and you are declaring this refusal of your own accord without IRCC requesting it

Thanks, Let me do that.
Can you please let me know whether this affects the processing time?

Quite honestly, the processing time (or any delay) should be the least of your worries. The important point is to declare the visa refusal.... which you have already done, but it is best to back it up with an email to the relevant visa office

Don't wait. Send the explanation ASAP. Else you're risking a 5 years' ban for misrepresentation

Unfortunately,

My VISA was refused again. Anyway, I am not looking to move to Canada, now. I am in the process of moving to Europe.
