You have the right to check online what records Canadian governmentt have about you including visa refusals. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=458&top=1 |

infofta:whenever you apply for visa, even in 20 years time, if they ask "have u ever been denied visa?" Better say yes and state the reason. Most organisations keep keep an archive of electronic copy of their documents before destroying the physical copy. So even if a document has a 10-year retention period, after 10 years, the hard copy will be destroyed but the soft copy exists. |

infofta: When you are denied,make sure the reason for your denial is addressed in the next application.Each application is treated on merit and on it's own doesn't matter how many times you applied.Even if you wait for 6months,five years etc and you don't address the reason of your initial denial,you will still be denied.A different person might look at your application and if it is convincing enough you will be granted.The reasons for most denials are if your application is not convincing beyond reasonable doubt.Once there is a doubt,forget it |

Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by Amotekun777: 2:07pm On Jan 10 |
Yes, they keep records of denial, and it's permanent. That does not mean you're ineligible for a visa tho. If you're asked if you've ever applied or denied a U.S visa or any other country's visa, of course you should answer accordingly regardless of the situation. The western nations have access to each others databases, so just say the truth. |

Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by Tzar(m): 2:26pm On Jan 10 |
Many years ago most embassies keep your record for 5-10years. These days ,due to paperless storage and huge data retention capacities, your applications are kept forever in most Western embassies. These records can also be shared amongst embassies in the West (US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia) Therefore, it is in your best interest not to lie, as long as the period they request for information is covered. You don't have to inform them of a negative if it is not within the period the info is requested. Note that visa denial is not the end of the world. The same embassy that denied you a visa will give you if you fulfil the requirements that made them deny you in the 1st place and your record is not suspiciously different from the record they have or has been shared by other embassies. The problem is that most people use agents who fill details that will significantly change the records of the applicant in future. These agent will wickedly not share details in the application so that you keep coming back to them. It is very important to keep your application details the same across ALL embassies in western countries, unless a few details needs correction due to unintentional errors that you have documents to prove the correction. Bottom line is the visa application success is based on the discretion of the issuing country. Even entry into the country inspite of having a visa is still discretionary. |
Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by SonofGod231: 2:32pm On Jan 10 |
Why's this question coming up if you're just reapplying with simple details indicating you've previously been denied.... E go shock you if you skip these details dem go Ban you for another 10yrs quoting your previous application and the passport number you used 25yrs ago. Better be straight forward,it's not a do or die affair. |

domack99: People were discussing ban and I just got tired. The topic is visa denial |
Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by mrpassionate(m): 3:28pm On Jan 10 |
All G7 countries I can guarantee you they kept the data forever. I don't know of the rest. Best move is, You shouldn't lie in your application. infofta: |

How long does an administrative review to come out and is there a chance of visa getting approved after been denied plsss |
Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by Yankee101: 3:43pm On Jan 10 |
They’ll still have your records indefinitely But they’ll usually ask you to state denials within a period of time only And a previous denial shouldn’t stop you from applying anytime as long as your situation for denial has changed |
Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by Bluffly: 4:11pm On Jan 10 |

Re: How Long Does Embassy Keep Record Of Visa Denial by Sheffieldconsul: 4:23pm On Jan 10 |
Why are you worried about a visa application that was denied in 2005? Have your circumstances not changed since 2005? Make a fresh application, acknowledge the refusal and if they ask, state why you were refused. Except ban as a result of fraud , etc. I don't see why you're fretting about visa denial! Apart from supporting documents and visa officer following guidelines, the rest is subjective and circumstantial. infofta: |
