I applied for FSW once before and I will reapply again . Question, do we all (principal applicant and dependents) answer YES or is it just the principal applicant who has to answer YEs and dependents NO ?


SCHEDULE 1: BACKGROUND DECLARATION

9. Have you, or, if you are the principal applicant, any of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever:

- previously sought refugee status in Canada or applied for a Canadian immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa?


Thanks !
 
Hello,

I think you have to answer yes to that one. If you applied before and was rejected under the FSW then that would count.

Good Luck
 
I withdrew application was not rejected. I need to know what the dependents should answer Yes or No ?
 
Dependents No. For u yes. Write a covering letter with ur file no ( previous) NOC code Date & place of birth and in reason column write application was withdrawn and the reason.

All of you should answer "yes".


You all applied for the PR visa, you as a principal applicant, and they as dependent family members.

When you check the answer "yes" for each of them, write in the space provided for the explanation, applied as a dependent family member, and the application was withdrawn by the principal applicant.


Because all of you applied, not only you, they were accompanying family memebers, and applied for the PR with you. (you did not exclude them from your first PR application).

If they were not accompanying you in the first application, you would answer "NO" for them, but they were included in your application.
 
Rogers 55,

I withdrew application was not rejected. I need to know what the dependents should answer Yes or No ?

Please explain how you did your withdrawal as I am planing to do so.

Were you refunded?

Cheers,
 
Professional 1,

Thanks very much for the reply, that is how I thought it was done, just wanted to make sure because it was unclear to me, thanks again.


Right,

You have to e-mail or fax (I did both) CIC or visa office soliciting the withdrawal, depends at what stage you are in. Refunds depends, if your file has reached the "in-process" stage you get NO REFUND, if it has not reached that stage you do get the refund. I suggest you make apost to seniors for exact guidance on this matter.
 
No , in my case I was not because CIC had already processed my application. So if planning to withdraw, do it before they start processing.
