For me it looks like an error on your part filling the forms.... if not this seems like a mistake, so you can resubmit the application if you are sure everything is "valid".

Thanks for responding. We reviewed the submission and there was no error but the travel agency suggests us not to re apply and rather look for an alternative route. Also if we re apply will it be possible to get accepetance before jan 16 ??

Possible yes...

I concur with your travel agency.... in fact, travelling India-Japan-USA-Mexico is much easier, shorter, cheaper than going through Canada

Hi Guys

I've question, not related to this specific thread but in general. What are the options in terms of appeal a person/host have when a visit visa gets rejected?
For eg:- Can a person appeal against the rejection or ask for specific reason?

Thanks in advance.

You can appeal but it is a very long and slow process....

It is way faster to simply correct what is needed and resubmit.

There is no process (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=422&t=16 ). You will have to hire an international immigration lawyer, he will open an appeal case in the government of Canada, then Canadian Government will evaluate if the appeal is valid, and the process will begin. This would a formal international immigration case, so prepare yourself for a lengthy and costly process.
