Visit Visa App-Counts as application to IRCC?

[salikgilani]

While filling out my PR application post-ITA, the following question shows up in the personal information section?

'Has Ahmed Salik Gilani applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before?'

I have applied for and been successfully granted a visit visa to Canada. So would that count as an application to IRCC or since it is not for immigration, refugee or citizenship purposes I should answer as no?

It does and your UCI number is the 8-digit one under the C REC / REC F field.

Just an additional question, related to the same topic. I am currently in the US on F-1 visa, being accepted in March 2015. However, I had applied for and was denied a visitor visa to the US in 2014, but I have no documentation for it, except for the simple fact that I was rejected. Does that have to be mentioned in the statutory questions?
