Visa Rejection Reasons
Factors that can get your visa rejected
Lack of Financial Evidence
Having no proof that one has sufficient money to spend during their stay, either through bank statements or financial guarantees, will result in a visa denial.
Inadequate or Inaccurate Documentation
Failure to prepare proper or inadequate documents leads to a direct rejection since all the documentation has to be perfect.
Previous Violation of Visa or Criminal Record
Staying beyond visa, breaching immigration rules, or even having a criminal record previously can be another important reason for your visa denial.
Failure to Provide Strong Ties in Your Country
Inability to show any strong personal, professional, or financial connections to your home country may raise a question over your intention to return.
Improper Justification of Purpose for Visit
Failure or ambiguity in explaining the purposes for visiting a country or failing to provide evidence like itineraries or invitation letters may result in your visa rejection.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are different options for Open Work Permit Canada duration, and they normally take one to three months to process depending on issues like whether the supporting documents that the applicant has submitted were complete or not and the activity level of the visa office at the time of applying. You should apply early enough before your planned time to travel in order to expect some hitches. Go on the IRCC website and find out how long it takes to process the application.
Yes, you can. You can apply for permanent residency being in Canada and enjoying an Open Work Permit Canada. Indeed, most of the Canadian work experience obtained under an open work permit will be beneficial to most of the permanent residentship programs, including the Canadian Experience Class under the Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Programs.
If one has an open work permit for an employment of skill level 0, A or B as described according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC), then the spouse may also be allowed for such open work permit. It means that your spouse would be allowed to work for any employer in Canada without the need to obtain LMIA.
An open work permit mainly allows you to work in Canada, but you might study in Canada on courses for up to 6 months without having a study permit. However, if you are planning to take a course, which will take more than six months to complete, you will need to acquire a study permit. It is also important to remember that learning should not interfere with the fact that you are there for a purpose, and that purpose is business.
If your open work permit is going to expire short and you plan to stay working in Canada, seek for renewal of the open work permit as early as you can before it expires. If you were unable to do this and the permit expired, then you will probably have to cease working and could be forced to leave Canada. However, if you qualify, the option to reinstate the status up to 90 days from expiry may be provided. Therefore, this must be avoided as much as possible.
