Express Entry (PR) Refusal Appeal
Express Entry Refusal: Understanding Your Next Steps
An Express Entry refusal can be a significant setback in your journey to Canadian permanent residency. At Globe Immigration, we provide expert guidance to help you understand the reasons behind the refusal and explore the options available to you.
Common Reasons for Express Entry Refusals
- Incomplete or inaccurate information: Errors in your application can lead to refusal.
- Failure to meet eligibility criteria: Not meeting the requirements for the program you applied under.
- Insufficient documentation: Missing or inadequate supporting documents.
- Security or medical inadmissibility: Concerns related to health or security can result in refusal.
Identifying the exact reason for your refusal is essential in determining the appropriate response.
Available Options After a Refusal
- Reapplying with a Stronger Profile
You can submit a new Express Entry profile, ensuring that all information is accurate and complete. Addressing the issues that led to the initial refusal is crucial.
- Requesting Reconsideration
If you believe the refusal was due to an error, you may request a reconsideration from IRCC. This involves explaining the perceived mistake and providing any new evidence to support your case.
- Judicial Review in Federal Court
Should you believe the refusal resulted from a legal or procedural error, a judicial review by the Federal Court of Canada may be pursued.
