It is stated that my visa was refused recently on the grounds that my medical examination result did not reach on time; however, I had received the confirmation email that my examination report had been sent. Whom should I be contacting? Is there a specific way to file complaints, appeals, etc.
Visa refusal on wrong grounds
- Thread starter rquesta
- Start date
This is the refusal email i received:
Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• You have not complied with our request for information, per subsection 16(1.1) of the
IRPA. To date, you have failed to comply with our request for an examination.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee.
This does not sound like it's related to medicals. They specifically said you have refused to provide requested information. Medicals is not requested info, it's due process.
Did you receive any other letter from them to provide info? Perhaps they sent you a PFL?
Did you apply yourself or through an Agent? Do you have access to your GCKey?
I don’t think 16.1.1 has anything to do with medicals. It has to do with not fully completing the application or answering truthfully. Did you use an agent? If so, have they received information and not shared with you.
Obligation — answer truthfully
Obligation — answer truthfully
- 16 (1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.
- Marginal note:Obligation — appear for examination
(1.1) A person who makes an application must, on request of an officer, appear for an examination.

So how were you eligible for IMP? Did they ask for more information and you didn’t comply?
I sent all the required documents and my additional medical exams will be sent today or tomorrow.
So you are reapplying for a work permit as per the letter to prove you are eligible for IMP program. All the best.
I can't reapply unless i know the specific reason otherwise my application can be refused but how can i get this information?
That is why I asked you, how are you eligible for IMP? Why isn’t your employer doing this? You can order GCMS notes (You can google it).
