I do understand that missing document is a very minor thing in the eye of an immigration officer and basically does not affect future travel/application. But I am asking for a broader sense that if I have to fill in forms in the future which asks "have you ever been rejected visa application?"
I tend to believe it is cancelled instead of refuse. The reason is that IRCC gives a list of possible final decisions (see below)
And my decision is clearly "cancelled" instead of "refusal" (see below)
I think this is pretty clear, but I will ask Web Form about this.
**********************************************************************************************************
The final decision tells you when your application is:
in progress,
approved,
not approved because it was incomplete,
refused,
withdrawn,
cannot be withdrawn, or
cancelled.
refuse and cancelled are two different things
*************************************************************************************************************
The decision for me is:
April 20, 2021 Your application was cancelled because it was incomplete. Check your messages below for details.
