Previous USA visa violation and visiting Canada

[Cyriusk]

Hi, guys I have a little bit of concerned about visiting Canada.
I apply for an eTA which got approved and accepted but I'm a little bit worried about it here is why :

I previously had a Student VISA in the USA which was terminated because I didn't register in time for class.I then left voluntarily 3 month later, and never came back or applied for any visa ever again


on the eTA background question there is one question about it "Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry to, or ordered to leave Canada or any other country/territory?"

which I answer No because that's not the case

I'm planning on visiting Canada for vacation but I'm scared of being in trouble because of that "visa termination" when I'll get screen , because the US and Canada share immigration data so it might show up, but I didn't lie about it since as far as I know being terminated and refused is not the same thing.

What do you guys think?

I think you should be fine, as I have a similar case.

I have a US B1/B2 visa application termination due to not submitting requested documents on time, and I'd never had to declare it as a refusal in US or Canada visa applications.

Thanks for your input bellaluna but I don't think it's the same case.I was granted a student visa,and was studying in the US but I failed to enrolled one semester so my visa got terminated making me out of status, and that's why I had to come back to my country but I wasn't deported or anything

My bad you’re right. Yours is much worse. Check the eTA status like an hour before your flight.

I will! my ETA has been approved couple month ago it has not been cancelled or anything so that's a good sign I guess but still not too confident

No other answer ;(?

I'm not sure what additional advice you are looking for. You answered a question on your eTA untruthfully - which puts you in a messy situation and means it's always possible IRCC could find out and cancel the eTA. As said above, check the status of your eTA an hour before your flight. Make sure you answer this question truthfully on future eTAs and any other applications to Canada.

I think you didn't even read my post...in the eTA it clearly says if you've been refused or denied a VISA/entry which is not my case because I HAD a visa that got canceled because of my mistake.So I don't think I answer the eTA untruthfully anyway thanks for your very "useful" comment
