Was Your Canadian Visa or Immigration Application Refused? We Can Help.
Appeals & Refusals
A visa or immigration refusal can be stressful and disheartening — but it may not be the end of your journey to Canada. Many refusals can be challenged, appealed, or re-applied with stronger evidence and better representation.
Our experienced immigration consultants can help you understand your options and take action to correct or overcome a refusal.
🧾 Common Reasons for Refusals
Applications may be refused for many reasons, including:
- Incomplete or incorrect documents
- Lack of proof of funds
- Failure to prove intent to return home (in visitor or study visa cases)
- Poorly written explanation letters or study plans
- Inadmissibility due to criminal or medical issues
- Misrepresentation (intentionally or unintentionally)
- Not meeting program eligibility requirements
Even strong applications can be denied if they’re not presented properly. That’s where we come in.
🔄 What Can You Do After a Refusal?
Depending on your situation and type of application, you may have several options:
- Reapplication
Fix the mistakes in your previous application and submit a stronger one.
✅ Often the best option for temporary visas like study permits, work permits, or visitor visas. - Request for Reconsideration
In some cases, you may write to IRCC or a visa officer to reconsider
the decision if you believe an error was made. - Appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)
