The purpose of reconsideration is that IRCC made an error in their laws/regulations in refusing the visa. So you address the errors in law by showing that all documentation provided was adequate in being approved for a study permit (e.g husband not accompanying, paying for own trip, only coming for two weeks). Providing new documentation is not proving error in law but a new application to address reasons for refusal.
Reconsideration request after visitor visa refusal
- Thread starter MalikSaadHamid
- Start date
I am so confused that should i go for reconsideration or no? I think i can prove the ties outside canada but I don’t know about financial situation and purpose of visit, if i will be able to convince officer. Because she was coming for summer vacation and vacation is about to end now
You would have to hear from people on the forum, who submitted a webform asking for reconsideration, and whether it was approved and how long it took for a response (either refusal or approval). Reconsideration is not a formal process.
Reconsideration usually takes at least 4-6 weeks from the cases I Have seen - Personally know a friend who had her SOWP refused and then approved via reconsideration.
However there is no set timeline. So if you want to appeal this, then it has to be done in a certain time window
Reconsideration is really only appropriate in a very limited amount of circumstances. I sounds like reapplying is more appropriate. How long has your SIL been married? Do your in-laws have TRVs? Do other family members live in Canada? It looks like you have been applying for TRVs for other family members. Is there a reasons for all the TRV applications?
Hello,
I have applied reconsideration for my brother, he applied visitir visa on 23 march,24 and got refusal on 3april,24 within 1 week. Then, i applied for reconsideration for him on april 16th.
Can anyone update, how much time it will take ?
There are no timelines for reconsideration. If you have not received an email that they received request, it can take over 30 days. IRCC doesn’t have to inform you that the file has been re-opened. Usually you order GCMS notes and reapply because that can be faster than reconsideration depending on reasons for refusal.
So how can i know about any update on application?
like through gic key account only ?
Maybe not, because we applied through lawyer, he didn't inform us, but i can ask today. Will let u know
May I ask what were reasons for refusal? If generic - not leave Canada - then order GCMS notes.
they give just only one reason that is below:-
- The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the
details you have provided in your application.
