Study Permit Application Refusal

Study Permit Application Refusal

It is obvious, that in most cases prospective international students do not expect to receive study permit application refusal. They have put a lot of effort into choosing the Designated Learning Institutions in Canada and submitting the applications. They might even have chosen the place of living and prepared all the required documents. And as a result of all this work done, international students do not want to believe that they can be pre-accepted to the Canadian schools and at the same time be refused to study here.

It has to be mentioned, that prospective international students, who received study permit application refusals, have the right to re-apply for a Canadian study permit and ask for professional help with the process of application. But before doing that, international applicants have to know the reasons behind their individual study permit application refusals.

As a rule, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) send applicants a letter in which they explain the reasons for a study permit application refusal. There are four common reasons, among others, why IRCC can refuse a study permit application of the prospective international student.

The first reason concerns the inability of the applicants to prove that they have the financial capacity to support themselves during their studies in Canada. The second reason for a study permit application refusal is an absence of the upfront medical examination report. If this document is not required while applying, it cannot be the reason for a study permit application refusal.

The third reason concerns the inability of the applicants to show solid proof that their main purpose of coming to Canada is to study in the Designated Learning Institution. The last reason lies in the absence of convincing arguments that the international students are going to leave Canada after completing the study in the chosen educational institution. If the immigration officers have doubts concerning the intentions of the applicants, they have the right to refuse a study permit application.

Depending on the reason for the study permit application refusal, international students usually have two options. They can take into consideration the reasons for the study permit application refusal and submit a new application. The second option is to take legal advice and ask to review the decision of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.

It has to be highlighted, that international students do not have to blame the immigration officer if they get a study permit application refusal. The first thing they have to do is to review the requirements of a Canadian study permit. If the prospective international students want to study in Canada with a study permit, they must fulfill five requirements of the eligibility criteria.

First, they have to be admitted to the Designated Learning Institution in Canada. You have to know, that prospective international students can apply only to the educational institutions that have the designated status. It means that they are accredited to admit and teach international students. You can learn more about Designated Learning Institutions online.

Second, prospective international students have to prove that they can afford to pay for tuition; financially support themselves and other members of the family who come with them to Canada while living in the country; can buy the return tickets for themselves and all members of the family who are going to accompany them in Canada. It is a vital requirement for the immigration officers to consider since they have to be sure that you or the members of your family are not going to search for illegal work or illegally stay in the country after completion of the study.

Third, the prospective international students have to prove that they have never broken the law and do not have the intention to put at risk the security of Canada. Applicants can be required to submit the police certificate to prove this statement. The immigration officer needs to be sure that your main goal is to pursue education in Canada, and you do not have hidden intentions concerning the integrity of the country.

Fourth, the prospective international students have to be in good shape. They can be required to complete a medical examination to prove this statement. You need to understand that the immigration officer has to be sure that you are not going to seek medical help in Canada instead of studying.

The last criterion is that international students have to give solid evidence that they are going to leave Canada after completing the education in the Designated Learning Institution. The immigration officer has to be sure that your main goal is to get a certificate, diploma, or degree from a Canadian school and return to your home country. Of course, you have the right to apply for a post-graduate work permit or different other immigration programs. However, you have to prove that you are not going to illegally stay in Canada.

It has to be mentioned that there are several situations when the immigration officers can make exceptions to the prospective international students. The Canadian study permit is not required for the individuals who are:

• members of foreign armed forces from countries that have the status of the designated state;
• international students who have the Registered Indian status;
• foreign diplomats in Canada and the members of their families;
• international students who want to participate in short-term study programs that last no more than six months in Canada. You can learn how to pursue short-term study programs without a study permit on the official web pages of the Designated Learning Institutions in Canada.

As you can see, study permit application refusals are based on the fact that the applications do not satisfy one or more of the eligibility criteria. If you are sure that your study permit application refusal was unfounded, and you can prove it, you have the right to apply for a review of the decision by the Federal Court of Canada. It has to be highlighted, that you have to show solid evidence that you satisfy all eligibility criteria. Also, you have to find an immigration lawyer who will be able to review your study permit application. Later the lawyer has to prepare the report that proves that the international student has grounds to apply for a review of the decision of the immigration officer. If you win the case, you get the study permit and the right to study in the chosen Designated Learning Institution in Canada.

As mentioned above, the immigration officers have different reasons for study permit application refusals. Additionally, prospective international students have several options to obtain it after receiving the refusal. However, it is worth mentioning, that it is better to submit the study permit application and receive it on the first try than spend time and resources for re-applying or hiring the lawyer. So, it is always a wise decision to use the described eligibility criteria while submitting your study permit application. Moreover, you know what requirements you have to fulfill if you want to avoid the study permit application refusal. Remember, you have to check all requirements at least twice to be sure that you satisfy the eligibility criteria of the immigration officers in Canada.

Additionally, you can always contact other international students who had problems with the study permit applications since they can give you pieces of advice concerning the common issues. Also, you can find more information about the study permit on the official web page of the Government of Canada. You can also visit the official website of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, where you can learn how they work and how they consider the study permit applications. This information can help you to avoid many mistakes and obtain a Canadian study permit without problems.
