Why would my immigration application be refused? What are the consequences of a refusal?

Among the most common reasons for refusal are failure to meet the following requirements of Canada immigration law:

• You are unable to prove to the visa officer that you meet the immigration criteria;
• you and/or your dependents fail to meet the prescribed medical standards
• You and/or your dependents do not pass criminal or security checks.

If your application is refused, a visa officer will advise you in writing by of the reasons for the refusal. You are free to apply again for immigration to Canada anytime. The fact that they have previously refused you will not affect your subsequent application. However, you must show that you have overcome the reasons why they refused your first application.
