Hello, I've applied for the student visa (the study permit) two times and I have been refused both of the times, the first refusal letter was because of this reasons:

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or
program of studies that you intend to pursue.
• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family
members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.​

Nevertheless, I managed to get the sufficient funds and I reapplied with the new bank statement. This second time I got this response:

• I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents you
have 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 failed to declare a
previous US visa refusal.

You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee.​

I completely forgot that in 2011 I got a US tourist visa rejected and now I am not sure if I should reapply with the correct information. Also they did not mention that point on the first refusal letter. Is this a big problem for me now? Please help!

What are the chances of getting a positive answer the 3rd time? Should I reapply?

I am very concerned about this issue. It was an honest mistake. :(

Did you receive a ban for the missed visa denial?

It says: "You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee." at the end.

I don't know if that means that I was not banned, it seems like I'm open to reapply.

That wording is standard in every letter. You need to look above that and see if there is language indicating you have been given a ban.

No, it doesn't says anything about a ban. The letter states exactly this:

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

• I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents you
have 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 failed to declare a

And nothing more.

Then you're good.

You re good to reapply and state the reason why America refuse to grant you a visa.
 
Be aware that the likelihood of you receiving a visa is decreased since you have been refused twice.
