Visitor visa (temporary resident visa) is a document that you can apply for to come to Canada for a vacation, family visit or a short business trip. Visitors are restricted in length of stay and subject to various conditions. You must show the officer that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations and that you will be in Canada for a temporary stay.
According to an article in The Globe and Mail in July 2018, the refusal rate for temporary resident visa applications increased from 18% in 2012 to 26% in 2017. In 2017 alone, Canada refused entry to nearly 600,000 people. During the first three months of 2018, the refusal rate increased to 30%.
Some of these applications have been refused due to the mistakes that are made by the applicants. Therefore, it is critical to make an accurate application.
