THE APPLICATION

Why Canada Visit Visa applications get refused

Many Nigerians are refused not because they're ineligible, but because of avoidable presentation issues. Here's what we check for before anything is submitted.

1

Weak or Inconsistent Financial Records

Bank statements that don't match your story, or show sudden unexplained deposits, are one of the most common refusal triggers.

2

Poorly Written Introduction Letter

Your personal letter of introduction needs to clearly and consistently support your stated travel purpose.

3

Missing Proof of Ties to Nigeria

Property, employment, and family ties help show the visa officer you have strong reasons to return home.

4

Wrong or Incomplete Documents

Missing sponsor or invitation documents, where applicable, is a common and entirely avoidable reason for refusal.
