Rejected Work, Study Or Visitor Visa – What Next?

If you have carefully filled in the forms, gathered the numerous supporting documents and tried to provide as thorough an explanation for your application for temporary residence to Canada, it can be deflating to receive a denial letter. While often an application may be rejected simply because the case was not strong enough, there may be things an applicant overlooked in the application process and could therefore "fix" in a subsequent application.

While Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) suggests here that you should not apply again if you were refused the first time, this does not preclude submitting an application that presents new or revised information that may make the case stronger. The IRCC also advises that hiring an immigration representative such as an immigration lawyer won't increase your chances of success.
