Reasons Your Visitor Visa Application Could Be Denied by IRCC – ASKMigration: Canadian Lifestyle Magazine

Many people from other countries visit Canada for business, pleasure, or family visits. Visa-required countries need a temporary residence visa to enter Canada. However, there are many reasons why Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) might say no to someone’s visitor visa application.

Incomplete forms, money and other stuff

Visiting Canada requires that you adhere to strict entry requirements, including submitting all necessary documents to IRCC. It’s wise for Canada-bound visitors to double-check what IRCC wants to ensure they send everything. Also, visa seekers must pay IRCC’s fees on time to avoid problems with their application.

Past Crimes and Telling The Truth

People with criminal records may be denied entrance into Canada. But sometimes, having a record doesn’t mean no entry. So, people who are seeking a visitor’s visa should be upfront about their past. They should also provide all the documentation that IRCC requests.

Fuzzy Plans & Papers

Visa refusals happen if folks need clarification about why they’re coming to Canada. To avoid that, they should give extra papers, like a travel plan, to help immigration and border folks understand why they’re visiting and what they’ll do here. Flight reservations and hotel reservations are other evidences of intent.

Lack of Home Country Connections and Confidence

As guests are typically admitted to Canada only for a maximum period of six months, it is important that they prove their departure at the end of the approved visit. If an IRCC officer or CBSA officer suspects that an individual may overstay their visa, they could refuse admission.

A particular factor contributing to IRCC’s doubt about a visitor’s departure is their perceived need for strong connections to their country of origin. To aid IRCC in confirming the applicant’s ties to their homeland, instilling confidence that they will leave Canada at the end of their permitted stay, applicants should provide documents like the ones listed below:

• Demonstration that they are employed in their country of origin.
• Indicating familial dependents in the candidate’s native land (offspring, guardians, grandparents, etc.)
• Verify land ownership in the applicant’s country of origin (rental contracts, etc.)

Travel Record Concerns, Candid Communication and Transparency

Traveling to Canada can be more difficult for those with a bad travel history, but it is still possible. In the context a visitor visa request, IRCC may decline to grant a Visa to international citizens who have a history of

• Overstays in Canada
• Previous rejection of Temporary Resident Visa petitions in Canada

To aid IRCC in alleviating apprehensions about an applicant’s prior TRV rejections or concerns that they might repeat the trend of overstaying their permitted period in Canada, the candidate should maintain openness with the immigration authority regarding this history. Similarly, forthrightness is crucial for an applicant’s criminal record and purpose for visiting Canada; prospective visitor visa holders should furnish IRCC with a comprehensive account of this history and demonstrate the measures they have adopted to rectify this conduct.
