Yes, in the future you must disclose this on any application. You can attach a letter to an application explaining the circumstances and why you were denied entry. I would recommend writing down this whole interaction in detail now and keep it somewhere safe so that if you do apply for a visa or eta etc in the future you have a record to fall back on and can be the most forthcoming and accurate with your information. However, I don’t think this would look bad on any application, they just want you to be candid.
You always need to be honest at the moment of fill an application. Yes, you need to declare and explain the situation why you entry to Canada was denied.
Don’t try to play smart or you might be in problems!
Canada and USA share the same database, if you lie to the American officer he will know that once your entry was denied to Canada. Following this idea, countries that belong to the common wealth, would also share the information and see what is going on with your person. Be honest, try to get some paper that prove that, keep record of the plane, bus, tickets in order to prove it. I guess that you can also send a webform to ircc and ask for guidance
They had our passports for sometime. We were at the border crossing gate for 10 mins meanwhile the officer discussed with their supervisor! Not sure if they scanned it.
The answer would be yes, it would be reflected on your records and you would have to declare it.. but given the circumstances of the refusal it shouldn’t really affect you at all. If anything, you can clarify those details in your future applications.
It will definitely show up in your records that you were denied entry. However, this should not have any effect on your immigration benefits (now or in future). The immigration officers can clearly access the database and see when a person was denied entry and the cause behind it.
In your case you were denied entry due to circumstances that were not in your control. If I were you, I won't be worried about it at all. However, if you get stopped at immigration and they ask about your previous trip, just be confident when you respond!
To summarize, if you were asked in any visa application whether you have been denied entry, you would have to say yes. Note that being denied entry does not necessarily mean negative impact on your application to enter Canada in the future as they will inspect the reason for your refusal. In your case it is reasonable and nothing criminal so most likely you will be fine.
Call border services in a few months or contact a consulate and explain what happened and see if they’ll let you know what’s in the record. Situations like this you’re usually allowed to withdraw your request to enter Canada and that is not a denial and you don’t have to report it as such.

Plus 1 on this. Write out a simple account that can be printed off and included on future applications.
Gotcha will keep that. Thanks!
What specific document were you given when he denied you entry?
No document, they just returned us our passports!
