Canada Visa Refusal Reasons And Next Steps

If your visa application has been refused, DON’T GIVE UP HOPE! Still, you have a few options to consider. Understanding the reasons behind your visa refusal is the first crucial step.

Common Reasons for Visa Refusal:

Most of the time refused temporary visa applications didn’t convince IRCC officers that you will return to your country. Here are the most common reasons for visa refusals:

  • Incomplete Documentation: Any missing or insufficient documentation may result in a refusal. Make sure to provide the necessary documentation accurately. 
  • Insufficient Funds: Your application may be refused if you cannot prove that you will have enough cash to pay for your stay’s expenses. 
  • Lack of Travel History: Lack of travel history or past rejections from other countries may cause concern.
  • Lack of Ties to Home Country: If you cannot show close ties to your home country, you may be denied entry into Canada for an extended period, one of the most frequent grounds for rejection. 
  • Unclear Travel Intentions: Your application may be refused if your paperwork does not support the purpose of your visit or if your travel intention is not made apparent. 
  • Misrepresentation: Giving fraudulent information or documentation may result in an instant rejection and possible ban from future applications. 
  • Criminal History: A criminal history, particularly of severe offenses, may lead to refusal. 

Next steps?

Here are important steps you can take if your Canada visa application is refused: 

  • Review the refusal letter
  • Understand the visa refusal reasons
  • Consider different options based on your application, refusal reasons, and your budget
  • Seek professional help for a better outcome

How can we help?

The laws governing Canadian visa refusal can be somewhat complex. It is beneficial to speak with a knowledgeable RCIC or Canadian lawyer who is an expert in handling visa refusal applications to provide the proper guidance and the best option for your unique situation.

Here is what we do:

1. Get GCMS notes and examine them: GCSM provides the notes the visa officer typed into the application review system while deciding. We’ll evaluate the officer’s notes to determine the cause of the refusal. If you don’t have GCSM notes, don’t worry we’ll get it for you.

2. Detailed application review: We’ll review your application thoroughly and compare it with the GCMS notes to see what went wrong.

3. Find a suitable solution: Based on your application and GCMS notes, we’ll suggest one of these options:

  • Submit a new application
  • Requests for reconsideration
  • Appealing to Canadian Federal courts (JR)

4. Handling the case: No matter what option you choose, we’ll handle the whole process and actively share the progress with you.

Canada visa story time!Last year, sometime around July, my client Eric and I planned that I will visit Canada to strengthen our business collaborations.I have gathered all the documents and applied for the business visitor visa, similar to how I did for the UK in past.Not more than two weeks later, I got refusal letter. Reasons:Not satisfied that I will return to my country, because:1. Insufficient family tie2. Business purpose does not sound legitimateReally? Like I have been working with my client for 7 years!Did some research on what should I do now, and figured out that after a refusal, before reapplying, it’s highly recommended to consult a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCIC). I have found a few RCIC located in Bangladesh, and called one of them. It was mid August, and they have informed me that the earliest the RCIC can even have a paid consultancy session with me is September 20, because they are so busy with other clients.But I need someone who will spend time on my case and give personalized solutions. That’s when I found out Arnika Visa, a Montreal based company, owned by RCIC MohammadReza Eslami. We had a consultancy session and I realized how weak my application was.Later, together we built a stronger application and Reza applied on behalf of me. The 2nd application was submitted in the end of September. After 3 months, on December 27, I got refused again!This time the reason was:Not satisfied that I will return to my country, because:1. Insufficient fund to finance the proposed travel2. Travel purpose inconsistent with the type of visa I have applied.Both Reza and I were shocked. We had such a strong application, and a lot of people with weaker profile get visas. Mr. Reza advised me to appeal to Canada federal court if I can afford it.Long story short, my lawyer convinced the IRCC lawyer that another visa officer would evaluate my application, and later, they gave me a visa.Throughout the whole process, one of the best parts is, I made a new friend in Montreal, Mr. Reza. He is an amazing businessman and we share a lot of business ethics. I hope his business grows bigger!

If you want to deal with multiple rejected VISA, I do believe that Arnika Visa Solutions is the first choice. My visitor visa was rejected twice and I was desperately looking for an immigration layer. I came across Arnika Visa Solutions website and I found the provided information so helpful. The steps were so easy or maybe they made the steps so easy for me. I just sent them my submitted documents for a free assessment. Shortly after, I got an email from them clearly providing some solutions. I had a virtual meeting with Reza Eslami and he comprehensively explained to me all the options and situations. Then I decided to sign a contact with Arnika to proceed with the JR application and the OUTCOMES! After two months IRCC offered a settlement. One of the important thing is Reza did not leave me un-informed and for any steps taken he gave me updates.Long story short, Reza knows what he is doing.
