Inadmissibility-Refusals
Refusals and appeals
Canada immigration officials may refuse your visa application for any number of reasons. Receiving a letter saying ‘Canada Visa Refused’ can be disheartening for anyone. If you get this after sponsoring a family member, the disappointment can be even greater.
Why is a Canada Visa Rejected?
A visa or immigration application can be rejected for a number of reasons. These include:
- Failure to prove eligibility for visa

Appeals from visa and immigration applications typically go to the Immigration Appeal Division.

Planning and preparing for an immigration appeal takes a lot of time and resources. Appeals will usually involve complex legal issues. Make sure you have a right person representing you.
