Our D2D team is dedicated to providing visa assistance to candidates who have received a refusal from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). There are several prevalent reasons why IRCC may refuse a study permit application, including:
Inability to demonstrate financial capacity: Applicants must show proof of financial capacity to support themselves while studying in Canada.
Failure to pass the medical exam (if required): If a medical exam is necessary, applicants must successfully complete it.
Insufficient evidence of the main intent to study: It is essential to convince the immigration officer that the primary purpose of coming to Canada is for educational purposes.
Inability to convince the immigration officer of plans to leave Canada: Applicants must demonstrate their intention to leave Canada once their study period is complete.
Depending on the specific reasons for refusal, applicants may have the option to address those issues and prepare a new application or seek legal assistance for an official review of the decision.
When a study permit application is refused, the first step should be to review the eligibility criteria. To be eligible for a study permit in Canada, prospective international students must have been accepted by a designated learning institution and prove that they have enough funds to cover their tuition fees.
Refusals for study permits are typically a result of applicants failing to satisfy the eligibility criteria. If an applicant can prove that they meet the criteria, they may have grounds to apply for a review by the Federal Court of Canada. In most cases, a lawyer must handle the application for judicial review on behalf of the study permit applicant.
