I travelled few years back to UAE for vacations, I booked the group tour with a travel company and when I travelled the immigration officer initially put the entry stamp on my passport but later when he saw my visa page he cancelled the entry stamp with a red cancelled stamp over entry stamp and sent our group back to Pakistan, and the reason was that travel company issued us a transit visa instead of a tourist visa. They said you can get tourist visa and then come again.
Then I traveled to UAE again next month again after our travel company admitted their mistake and provided us compensation and got us tourist visa, then we had no issues in UAE.

 

Shall I answer yes or no?

This sounds like a REMOVAL from a country. (In the US they can offer one to withdraw their application to enter, but I don't know how it works in other countries.) Answer YES and explain.

Answer is NO.

 

You were not removed or deported, simply refused entry. Very different things.

 

@randomstairs is completely wrong and giving you wrong advice, how can someone be 'removed' from a country if they never even entered it in the first place? They can't.

The US has Expedited Removal Proceedings, one never enters , never sees a judge…but picks up a Deportation Order nonetheless. 
OP should request copies of the record. See link 


https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration

Request copies of personal information held in the borders, immigration and citizenship system

That depends on the country. In Australia if you're refused entry you are automatically unlawfully present, for example. It's usually best to interpret questions literally. So, the answer should be YES. They can explain that they were only refused entry due to the travel agent's error.

Err no, you're still giving wrong information.

 

The answer is NO. OP had the wrong visa and was therefore refused entry, there was no deportation or removal. 

 

Stop trying to fit people's circumstances into your own personal narrative. You're the only one who thinks it should be yes, you're wrong.
