Why did CIC refuse Your Visitor Visa?
While you may seem frustrated due to refusal of your special visa, remember there are thousands of applicants yet to be approved. Canada’s
immigration department has proven to be the most straightforward persons. All foreigners seeking to travel to Canada are required with
travel authorization (electronic Travel Authorization or Temporary Resident Visa). Failure of any of these two leads to denial of entry
whether you are on student visa, visitor visa or even work permit.
Refusal of visa results from many reasons depending on the visa type.
If you come from a country exempted from Visa, then an electronic travel authorization (eTA) is just enough. It is actually easy to
obtain as it takes only 24-72hours to generate after applying online.
On the other hand, if you are from a non-visa exempt country, a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is mandatory. However its application
process is often long as it involves provision of several documents containing both personal and family details. It also requires proper
screening process giving it a high chance of refusal. Its typical processing period revolves between 2weeks to 4months depending on the visa
office used.
Unlike other countries such as US, Canadian immigration does not conduct interviews on personal basis. It depends solely on paper
application from which IRCC makes their final verdict. To come out successfully, it is important you organize yourself exceptionally and
submit a credible TRV visa application.
Reasons for TRV refusal
i. Unavailability of Travel History
Unavailability of Travel History - such that if a person has never travelled abroad before, there is high chances of visa being rejected especially if they apply on their own.
ii. Existence of strong Family ties to Canada
Existence of strong Family ties to Canada - an individual can be denied a visa upon realization that he or she has family members in Canada.
iii. Main purpose of visit
Main purpose of visit - such that if there is no valid reason for travelling to Canada, then you may be denied a visa.
iv. Period of Stay
Period of Stay - such that if you wish to stay for longer periods of time, then significant amount of funds may be needed to facilitate your stay there.
v. Shortage of employment prospects in home country
Shortage of employment prospects in home country - if you are from a country where wage rates are much lower than that of Canada, chances of you heading back after completion of your intended purpose is lower. This raises doubt on IRCC thus leading to denial of entry.
vi. Personal Assets
Personal Assets - lack of fixed assets to tie you to your home country may be the problem.
vii. Lack of proper and accurate supporting documents
Lack of proper and accurate supporting documents - You must provide all the necessary supporting documents in an extensive and accurate manner.
viii. History of you overstaying in Canada in your previous visit
History of you overstaying in Canada in your previous visit - this is detected using the Global case Management system where data about most countries across the world are shared.
ix. Illegal status in country of residence
Illegal status in country of residence - this may make it hard for Canadian government to believe if you will observe their laws and regulations.
x. Lack of supporting documentation
Lack of supporting documentation from your Canadian host may also be a problem.
xi. Lack of authenticity in documents
Lack of authenticity in documents - this implies incredibility in your information. Ensure you do not hire representatives offering visa services with no license.
xii. Failure to attain the set health standards
Failure to attain the set health standards - medical exam may be required as part of your approval to Canada. Serious health issues may indicate a burden on Canadian tax payers as well as health of others.
Reasons for eTA Visa refusal
- Criminality- having been charged with a crime previously.
- Deportation during your previous visit- due to overstaying there illegally.
- Medical ineligibility- implies having a contagious disease that threats life of Canadians.
- Human Rights Violation- arises when one is identified to have served in military for a country that is claimed to have been involved in war crimes.
- Misrepresentation- having provided inadequate of false information to Canada immigration and given a ban its government.
What’s the possible solution after refusal?
- You can reapply or seek judicial review incase due process was not followed by IRCC during previous application. In order to come out successful, you must prove that IRCC did not carry out their job effectively. Ensure your previous application had a strong case for contentment.
- Reapplying on your own again is not advisable since you will end up submitting the same information as that of the previous one and no visa officer will be interested in reviewing the same thing, having given it a refusal before.
- Involve an immigration consultant with vast knowledge and experience in this field. This is because immigration professionals are highly respected by the visa officers as they are familiar with all the laws and procedural fairness that need to be followed. In case a visa officer refuses an application, he must then justify his decision in regard to the facts presented in the application.
