Student Visa Refused
Student Visa Refused
Student Permit Refusals Visitor visas, student permit and work permits are temporary resident visas (TRV). If you’ve received notification of a student visa refusal from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), you need to decide what to do next. There is basically two options: appeal in Federal Court or reapply.
Why was my Student Visa Application Refused?
The student visa application process is fairly complicated and often the applicant does not fully understand the process and what is required in order to have a successful out come. After applications for a TRV are submitted, an immigration officer reviews the application and makes a decision to approve or refuse. There is no interview and the visa officer makes a decision based solely on the information provided and will not request any additional information even if it is missing. If an application does not contain the necessary forms, information and supporting documents the application will likely be refused. Furthermore, if an application only contains the minimum required documents and does not include documents to strengthen the application the application where needed it may also be refused.Therefore, it is very important to submit an application that is both strong and complete the first time a student applies.
Common Reasons for Student Visa Refused
Students must submit a detailed study plan that is both sufficiently detailed and logical that it convinces the visa officer that the applicant’s main intention of going to Canada is to study. Normally, study in Canada should be consistent with previous post-secondary education. It must make sense for the applicant to study their chosen program in Canada and the study plan should explain how the studies in Canada will benefit the applicant when they return to their home country.
Students need to demonstrate they have strong ties to their home country so that the visa officer is satisfied they will return to their home country after their studies are complete. Ties can include family, property, employment, financial and other connections to their home country that make it likely they will return.
Students are only required to provide proof of adequate finances for the first year of study. However, applications are often rejected because the visa officer is concerned the applicant doesn’t have sufficient finances for the full period of study. Therefore, it is recommended that the student provide proof of adequate finances for more than just the initial first year of study.
If the student has never travelled abroad they can be rejected on this basis of an inadequate travel history.
Required documents are missing.
If the requested or intended period of stay is long and there is no good explanation this can cause the visa officer to question if the person has an intention to leave Canada at the end of their stay.
A refusal to study in another country such as the USA or Australia will increase the chances of rejection.
If you are criminally or medically inadmissible to Canada your visa will be refused.
Studying in Canada needs to make sense for someone in your occupation and with your current salary and financial situation, especially if you are an older student.

How can a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Help?
- Obtain and Examine GCMS Notes
Global Case Management System (GCMS) is the information system used by IRCC to process visa applications and contain the entire case history. They contain the notes the visa officer has entered into the system when making a decision about an application and contain invaluable insight into the visa officer’s analysis of the case and reasoning behind the decision. GCMS notes and the refusal letter can help identify the reason for the rejection and enable you to rectify the problem by making the proper corrections and provide additional information to strengthen your application where the visa officer had concerns.
- Professional Representation
If you did not have a representative for your previous application you probably only submitted the required documentation listed on the IRCC document checklist.Often, submitting only those documents are not enough to make your case that you will return to your home country after your visit and to satisfy the visa officer of other requirements of obtaining a visitor visa. Generally, it is wise to submit as much evidence as you can beyond the minimum required by IRCC. Your representative can assist you in preparing and submitting a stronger application to IRCC that address the concerns the visa officer had about your previous application.
- Submission letter
An RCIC will prepare and submit a submission letter on behalf of the applicant along with the application. The submission letter will respond to and address the reasons for refusal identified in the GCMS notes and on the refusal letter.
IN OUR EXPERIENCE THE COMBINATION OF THE THREE FACTORS ABOVE IS USUALLY SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME MOST REFUSALS, ESPECIALLY THE MOST COMMON OR FREQUENT ONES.
