5 Reasons Why Visitor Visas Are Refused
There are various reasons why an application for a visitor visa may be refused. The most common reason for a refusal is failing to establish to the immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay. An acceptance or refusal depends on how the officer perceives your application. Immigration officers will refuse a visa if they have grounds to believe the applicant will not leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay. The burden of proof is on the applicant to establish they meet all the requirements for a visitor visa.
What Is Canada’s Immigration Policy?
Canada granted more than 437,000 foreigners permanent residency in 2022, the most ever in a single year. The greatest share of new Canadian permanent residents came from India, followed by China, the Philippines, and Nigeria. The current government plans to steadily increase immigration levels over the next several years, with the goal of accepting five hundred thousand new permanent residents into the country each year by 2025.
