Why have they refused to issue me a TRV?

Some of the reasons for TRV refusal include lack of travel history, strong family ties to Canada, length of stay, the real purpose of visit, current employment situation, documents that do not appear authentic, history of overstaying during a previous visit, etc.
But, in the case of TRV refusal, other options are available for the applicants.

Is it possible to file an appeal?

The IRCC does not give the applicant any rights to appeal, nor is a formal process available. However, you can reapply or request a judicial review.
You can get your case judicially reviewed if the IRCC/visa officer did not follow the due process and did not assess the application thoroughly based on the facts presented (you have to submit accompanying proof of your claim). The review will be successful only if the original application presents a strong case for approval.

Is it possible to apply again on my own?

It is always possible to apply on your own. But often fails, no matter how many times you resubmit the form. The visa office usually doesn’t approve an application from an individual whose last attempt failed.
In most cases, visa officers review the resubmitted applications, and they consider reviewing such applications a waste of their time. As a result, many of them immediately refuse the application without even going through it. Unfair but true.

How can your immigration law firm help?

We had helped many applicants obtain their Temporary Resident Visa successfully when they contacted us after failing one or more times. Visa officers pay more attention when assessing visa applications presented by immigration lawyers. Immigration lawyers know the entire assessment process and expect visa officers to follow the specified assessment procedure for applications duly. An immigration lawyer can challenge any oversight by the visa officer via a judicial review.

The visa office has to adequately justify any refusal to accept an application based on the facts presented in the application form. Any application refusal despite presenting a solid case by the applicant is worthy of putting up for a judicial review. Neither the visa offices nor the IRCC would want to waste time on a judicial review, which is why they approve strong cases presented by immigration lawyers.

Our expert immigration lawyers would properly organize the supporting documentation and resubmit a more robust application, which often gets approved. Then, the lawyer submits the application form via the lawyer Portal along with a submission letter supporting your application. The submission letter has 4–5 pages containing facts that address all the possible reasons for refusal.

If required, our experienced immigration lawyers will also include appropriate case laws from the Federal Court to address unfair reasons for visa refusal, like lack of travel history, strong ties to Canada, etc. Finally, we send a copy of the submission letter to our clients for review, and they get an opportunity to see how the lawyers present their cases.
