Study Abroad: Reasons Behind Canada Student Visa Rejections; Know How To Increase Acceptance Chances

According to the data released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), nearly about 320,00 study permits were rejected in 2022 alone. However, the approval rate for 2021-2022 was about 58% of the Canadian study permit. 

Yet, the nation is also turning away more students each year as less than three in five applicants are granted a study permit.

2. Purpose of Visit 

The applicant must state the purpose of his/her visit in the application mindfully. However, many applications were rejected by IRCC. The reason is, IRCC was not convinced that the applicant will depart Canada after the completion of their study program.

Around 10% of Canadian student visa refusals in 2021 and 2022 were attributed to limited work opportunities in one’s country after their study in Canada.
