Frequently Asked Questions
In some cases, Canadian residency applications (such as, temporary resident visa, work permit, and study permit) seem to be refused without clear reasons, but this is usually the case when individuals apply on their own without receiving professional service. Canadian visa applications involve rigorous preparation of documents and information collection, which requires professional knowledge and experience of the system. Moreover, additional documents and a representative’s submission letter will strengthen the application.
When a Canadian visa application is rejected, the applicant has the options of submitting a new application or appealing to the refusal decision. Subsequent visa applications also have the risk of being refused again, as the applicant will be flagged in the system. It is crucial understanding the reasons behind the rejection decision and proving that the situation is clarified or changed. Working with a representative does not guarantee for an approval, however hiring a representative, who is an experienced professional will help in achieving optimal results.
Canadian visa applications are refused for many reasons, some of which include:
- Lack of travel history
- Financial situation
- Host’s financial situation in Canada
- Current employment prospects in home country
- Current employment situation
- Family ties to Canada
- Family ties to home country
- Failing to state a genuine purpose of visit
- Submitting documents that do not appear authentic
- Illegal Status in country of residence
- History of overstaying status on a previous visit to Canada or another country
- Lack of documentation
- Having a criminal record

A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant is not the decision-making body and cannot promise an approval for any type of application. IRCC makes the final decision on the applicant’s eligibility and admissibility to Canada.
