What does a “refusal” mean?
A refusal means that your application to immigrate, either temporarily or permanently, to Canada was not approved for specific reasons. These reasons could range from providing incomplete or incorrect documentation to a failure to meet the eligibility requirements of a particular program. While receiving a refusal can be a setback, it is not necessarily the final word on your immigration journey.

One option available after a refusal is a judicial review. This process allows you to challenge the refusal decision by taking the matter to the Federal Court of Canada. A judge will review your case to determine whether the decision was fair, reasonable, and made according to the law. If errors are found in the decision, the court may order the immigration authorities to reconsider your application.
