What types of Canadian study visas are there and why are they refused?

Applicants with problematic study purposes

Basically, the school or major applied for does not match the student’s background, causing the visa officer to doubt the student’s study purpose. This situation is very fatal, because the school and major have already been applied for. If you wait until the visa result comes out to change the school, you will not have much choice, and sometimes the application deadline is basically closed. At this time, you can consider applying for other courses, such as a graduate certificate, or graduate preparatory course, or go to Canada to study language first, and then transfer to a suitable course. Although this is a curve to save the country, it also saves time than applying for courses in the coming year.

Applicants with financial problems

The Canadian Visa Center has always had very high requirements on the source of funds. Canadian visa officers have to deal with a lot of cases every day, and when they review any case, they will think the worst about the applicant. For example, they think that the applicant wants to hang around, wants to stay as a black laborer, etc., then The rationality of the visa materials is the most powerful proof to dispel these concerns of the visa officer. If the visa is rejected because the explanation is not clear, you can find an experienced agency to help supplement the materials and write a source statement. These instructions must be reasonable and legal and meet the requirements of the visa officer, otherwise the visa will also be rejected.

Applicants with upside-down academic qualifications

The academic qualifications applied for are lower than the applicant’s own academic qualifications? This application method is unreasonable in the eyes of the visa officer. For example, a master's degree student goes to another country to study at a junior college for no reason. This application method also makes no logical sense. Such applicants are less likely to be approved when applying for a study visa.

Older Applicants

Here, regarding the concept of "older age", the Canadian Immigration Law and IRCC have no clear requirements for the age of study permit applicants. However, our many years of application experience show that for applicants over 25 years old, the older they are, the higher the visa rejection rate. If the applicant’s language skills are not very good and he is single, then the probability of visa rejection is almost 100%.

Applicants with a history of visa rejection

People often think that it will be more difficult to apply for a visa if they have a history of visa rejection. To a certain extent, having a history of visa rejection will indeed affect the approval rate of the second application, but having a history of visa rejection is not that terrible. Applicants can apply for a file adjustment, find out the reasons for rejection, and make qualitative changes to the application materials based on the reasons for rejection, and then submit again. However, because Canadian visa officers are highly subjective in visa processing, we have also encountered In many cases, the reasons for rejection are not stated. Blindly submitting again at this time will not bring any benefits to the visa application.

Applicants who intend to immigrate

This situation is actually rare. Canada currently encourages international students to stay in Canada to work and start a business after graduation, so the immigration regulations for international students have always been relatively strict. Loose.

For this reason, the Canadian Embassy also emphasizes that if the study plan in the application materials indicates that you want to immigrate to Canada after graduation, the application will not be rejected based on "immigration intention". The real violation of Canadian immigration laws is to hold a school admission and not register after arriving in Canada. Instead, you enter the country in the name of studying abroad, and then work illegally or stay in Canada illegally. Many students who are refused visas because of their immigration intention are likely to have unreasonable study arrangements, which makes the Canadian visa officer think that the students' study motives and purposes are impure.
