What happens if immigration application is denied?

The Canadian government has its own eligibility criteria and requirements for immigration programs to check the quality and quantity of the influx of immigrants from different parts of the world.  It primarily aims to boost up its population and economic graph with the help of immigration. So, most of the times, when it finds applicants ineligible for its market, society, and culture, it rejects or refuses the immigration applications.

However, for an applicant who fantasizes of living, studying or working in Canada, the letter of rejection is not less than his/her worst nightmare.  So if this applies to your immigration case too, then this post is of great help.

Contrary to disappointment for denial of Canada immigration application, an individual has three options including - appealing, reconsideration, and re-applying for getting refusal overturned in the short duration of 30 days only.

However, before all of them, the foremost thing is to understand the reason behind the denial of your immigration application.

Reasons for which immigration applications get denied:

·        Misrepresentation:

If an applicant unintentionally forgets to provide any information or document required for the immigration program, then he/she may get accused of misrepresentation. Immigration examiner doesn’t approve incomplete immigration applications or applications with improper documentation or false information.

·        Health reasons:

Canada is popular for its healthy environment and free healthcare services. Any diseased or unfit applicant may overburden its health care system so, it is mandatory for every new applicant to be mentally and physically fit to enter Canadian boundaries as any visa holder. In case the medical report states any health issue, then it becomes difficult to get approval from the immigration examiner on the immigration application.

·        Failure to provide PCC:

Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is to prove that an individual doesn’t belong to any criminal background. If an applicant fails to provide PCC directly leads to the rejection of immigration application.

·        Lack of proof of funds:

Many immigration programs of Canada demands proof of funds to ensure that the applicant is financially stable to support him/her in Canada after immigration. So, all those applicants who are unable to show sufficient funds to an immigration officer have to face denial of immigration application.

Once you are aware of the reason for rejection, the next step is to appeal, request reconsideration or re-applying depending on your case.

Appeal and reconsideration:

If an applicant genuinely believes that immigration examiner made an incorrect or wrong decision, then he/she has an option to appeal. With the assistance of an experienced immigration lawyer or consultancy which is well-versed in dealing refused immigration application, he/she can appeal either to the Federal Court of Canada or the Immigration Adjudication Division (IAD). Here, you need to put your grounds for the appeal against the decision of immigration officer. However, remember, IAD hears cases only from sponsored persons applying to Permanent resident visa.  

If an applicant believes that immigration examiner has misunderstood the provided information, then Reconsideration is a good option.

Re-applying:

When an applicant receives the letter of rejection from CIC, it clearly mentions the reason for denial of the immigration officer. If it says that he/she may reapply for the Canada visa at a later date, then it is advisable to him/her to initiate the process of reapplication without any further delay. Moreover, hire a trustworthy and reputed consultancy which knows the detailed reapplication procedure to avoid any chance of rejection or denial the second time around.
