Analysing Your IRCC Refusal Letter

Visa refusal occurs when IRCC determines that an applicant does not meet the requirements for their desired immigration application. In David’s case, the refusal letter cited three main concerns:

  1. Doubts about leaving Canada at the end of the trip
  2. Insufficient assets and financial situation to support the stated purpose of travel
  3. Inconsistency between the purpose of visit and a temporary stay

It’s crucial to carefully review your refusal letter to understand why your visa was refused, just as David did in this sample.

Crafting an Effective Visitor Visa Reconsideration Letter

When writing the letter for your reconsideration request, focus on addressing each reason for refusal cited by the immigration officer. In David’s case, the letter effectively:

  • Provided new information about his ties to his home country, including his occupation and family responsibilities
  • Explained the importance of his visit to Canada to reunite with his son, Daniel
  • Demonstrated his intent to leave Canada by highlighting his work commitments and family ties at home
  • Addressed financial concerns by showing Daniel’s commitment to cover all expenses and providing updated financial documents

Key Factors for a Successful Reconsideration
