What are the challenges in obtaining Canada Permanent Residence Visa?

Canada is undoubtedly one of the best destinations to migrate for a newcomer. Right from infrastructure and robust economy to immense job opportunities and top wages, Canada attracts thousands of applicants every year for permanent residence.

However, a lot of Canadian immigration applications gets refused as well for various reasons, a lot of which are completely avoidable. Such unfortunate circumstances usually result in causing distress and disappointment for aspiring immigrants along with their family members.

The reason behind such situations is lack of proper knowledge! Since Canada offers plethora of immigration options for skilled foreign nationals, it sometimes become challenging for a person to navigate through each process in detail.

Therefore, we came with a list of seven typical reasons behind why Canada permanent residence applications get refused . This can definitely help you or anyone who is thinking about immigrating to Canada.

An Act of Misrepresentation

It has been observed that a lot of cases of misrepresentation find its way when an applicant misreads or misunderstands a question on the form, omit key information from a form, or misunderstand certain instructions regarding form completion.

As a matter of fact, the term ‘misrepresentation’ itself implies to a scenario where a person deliberately hides or alter any specific information. But this cannot be the case always. In some instances, it can be accidental as well as preventable. But you must take care of it well in advance otherwise your application will be refused by the IRCC out rightly and in some cases, you may be banned for up to 2 years from reapplying.

Medical Conditions

As an applicant for Canada PR visa , you as a primary applicant along with your dependents (if any) are required to undergo a medical examination done by an IRCC's (Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada) recognized doctor.

In case of certain health conditions, you may face refusal, like Diabetes or Hepatitis A. However, there are ways through which you may overcome the inadmissibility to Canada on health grounds. For instance, you may produce a report from a specialist about your health condition that can help you avoid further examinations, application refusal or delay in processing.

Criminal Background

A criminal background check is a must from each country where you resided in for more than six months from the day you turned 18 years. It is a mandatory requirement because Canada wants to make sure that you as a newcomer will not impose any security threat to health and safety of its residents and citizens. If you prove that there was no charge or conviction on you in the past, then you application will be processes as per the normal protocol and timeline.

As a foreign national you may be inadmissible to Canada on criminality grounds. Any past conviction on you can cause you application rejection.

Missed deadlines

The Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada (IRCC) ensure that the entire immigration process is fair and thus, deadlines are also imposed on the applicants for the submission of documents and certain forms. In case you miss out on any of these deadlines, it may result in application refusal.

Therefore, it is very important for you to know the right time to obtain required documents, and complete specific forms beforehand. Trust us, it is possible to get things done as per the deadline. All you need is to be prepared and organised so that you can kick-start the immigration process on-time and avoid application refusal.

Reconsiderations

There are certain cases where the IRCC follow its own rules and protocols consistently. However, a visa officer is capable of committing any error or inconsistencies while assessing the applications. Sometimes they may misinterpret the rules and refuse your application on invalid grounds.

In such situations, hiring a visa and immigration advisory service can help ease out the problem. An ICCRC registered consultant may help build a case file on the basis of established models which are quite similar to most of the situations ever faced by applicants who got their application refused. This will help you represent a better case for reconsideration or appeals.

Incomplete documentation

The IRCC provides a detailed documentation checklist to an applicant along with a tracking number for application completion. You are responsible to gather all those documents and submit them on time with the tracking number. In case you fail to submit complete documents, you may end up facing application refusal.

Unclear about Eligibility Criteria

With more than 80 immigration programs to offer, each Canadian immigration program has unique selection requirements. An applicant's eligibility for the chosen program is assessed based on different factors, like an applicant's age, education level, occupation, language skills, work experience, etc.

Lack of proper knowledge about the key eligibility criteria for the chosen program might lead you to disqualification. Sometimes an applicant gets his/her application refused because the IRCC finds that the applicant is not eligible for the immigration program under which he/she have applied.

Thus, you must review the application criteria thoroughly against your profile details and undergo a profile assessment online before applying for any immigration program. Detailed profile assessment is the best solution to avoid such instances.
