Hello everone , I have previously received a rejection for a tourist visa application، The message was rejected and reads as follows:
I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents youhave submitted in support of your application, as required by subsection 16(1) of the IRPA.Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful: You have not declaredyour previous US visa refusals.
So my question is, will this rejection affect my application for the Express Entry program?
thank you
​
 
No it shouldn't unless this was a PFL and a 5 year ban. But you must say yes that a visa was rejected.



Regarding the question about previous visa refusals, I answered “No” because I believed the question was referring only to Canadian tourist visas. I did not realize that I was required to declare all previous visa refusals from any country, including the United States. I was genuinely unaware of this requirement at the time of my application, and there was no intention to hide any information.

So it wasn't a ban just a refusal. You still need to always say "Yes" to any refusals for any country. So do the same for your PR applications. Congrats on invitation.

Thank you in advance, but I have not received an invitation yet. I am planning to apply for the Express Entry program this month after obtaining good scores in the language test. That is why I was worried about the impact of that previous refusal in the future.
:D

So you are not applying but submitting a profile. What is your score and NOC? Do you have Canadian education or work permit?

I have already shared my points with you, but I did not reach the required level. I have a bachelor’s degree in English and four years of experience in teaching. I will retake the language exam next month.
