Previously refused PR application, will it affect my student permit application

[Maherd]

My father tried twice for a canadian PR application.Once in 2002, the application was refused due to lack of documents in work experience section.Secondly in 2008, the application was REFUNDED( not refused) because the job applied for had reached its cap for that year.

In both the cases I was a dependant and was under the age of 18 years in both the applications.

Now i am applying under spp in 2-3 days. Will my dad's pervious refusal in PR application affect my student permit.Also there is a column in the student questionare form in which it is asked

1.)Have you ever applied for any Canadian visas ( For e.g Permanent Resident, Temporary Resident (visitor, worker or student), Tempory Resident permit)

2.) Have you ever been refused any kind of visa travel to Canada

Now If my father was the main applicant and I was a dependent, would I have to answer to both the above questions as ''yes'' or answer as ''no'' as I was a dependent not the main applicant.

As the embassy has an integrated system so my passport no. and name might flash up in their system I am confused and worried too. Kindly help .

anyone ?

anyone ?

I think you should write "yes" as despite the fact that you were a dependent, you were on the file.

Yes even I was thinking so. And give a brief explanation in the box below that question explaining I was only a dependent. Thnxx.

Nd what do you think will it affect my visa chances ?

Hey Mahred,

It is very important to mention that on the VISA form. The High Commission screens all the applications and they will get to know about it if your dad previously applied for a permanent residency.

Even if they realize the dual intent there is nothing to be worried about. Please go through this:

I understand your situation is somewhat different but it's dual intent which is concern but you have nothing to worry about.

Best of luck

I doubt that it will have any sort of positive or negative impact on your application.

I emailed the CHC CHD today regarding the same query and asked what to answer in those two questions in the form keeping in mind my situation. Thought it to be the best to get answers directly from the concerned department. Though I didn't provide any specific details and emailed it from a fake id. I did right or wrong what do you guys say ?

Thanks !..and bro did you get your visa ? And also should I mention once refused or twice. As my dad's second application was refunded. ?

 

[Maherd]

anyone else ?

 

[royalsting]

anyone else ?

Write and mention both of them ie refused and refunded. If they need to check any further details, they can check it from their database, but try to provide complete and genuine information from your end despite the fact that this information might not have any effect on your application.

 

[Maherd]

Write about both of them, and mention refunded only. If they need to check anything, they can check it from their database, but try to provide all genuine information from your end.

I think I would rather mention it like this

1.) Applied in 2002
File no. - ****
Purpose - PR
As a dependent
Result : Refused

2.) Applied in 2008
File no. - ****
Purpose - PR
As a dependant
Result : Refunded

With the file no. they can all the relevant details.Rather than explaining what the situation was and what went wrong. What do you say ?
