Why was my Canada visitor visa refused?
If your Canada visitor visa has recently been refused, don’t get discouraged! There are a few steps you may be able to take to obtain a Canadian visa.
First, let’s understand what it is. An application refusal is usually a result of a failure to prove finances, prove intent, provide supporting documents, meet health, security, or criminal admissibility standards.
Why was it refused?
Though there may be unstated reasons, your Canadian visitor visa application may have been rejected due to one or more of these options…
Failure to provide proper and accurate supporting documents
Failure to show acceptable resources to finance your time in Canada
Failure to meet international security standards (Ex. applicant has a criminal background)
Failure to meet health standards
Visitor visa officer has doubts about the applicant’s intention or their application
What can I do?
If your Canadian visitor visa was refused, you can still re-apply and try again! Your immigration officer is required by law to document the reasons for the decision they made, so be sure to THOROUGHLY review the reasons for rejection, correct all previous mistakes, and provide any additional information to your immigration officer.
