While planning a trip to Canada, there might be instances when your visa application would be refused. It can ruin your plans to visit, study or even start a new life abroad. However, there are a few steps that can be taken in order to obtain a visa even after your application has been rejected.

“Contrary to what many people think, reapplying after a Canadian visa rejection or refusal is actually an option, depending on the reasons why the application was rejected in the first place,” says Advocate Farhat Warsi, Partner at Vanta Legal. The letter that the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenships Canada) sends you explaining your visa denial does not mention the reason for refusal. There are different reasons why an application for a visa may be rejected based on the unique requirements of each visa type.
