Canada’s immigration system is experiencing an unprecedented rise in application refusals across multiple streams, with official data revealing a 61% increase in rejections for applicants from high-risk countries. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) processing errors appear to be a significant contributing factor affecting visitor visas, study permits, work permits, and permanent residency applications. Overwhelmed by nearly 2 million applications in their system, IRCC officers frequently overlook critical documents or misinterpret eligibility criteria, leaving applicants financially burdened and emotionally distressed. Recent policy changes and inconsistent decision-making have further complicated the immigration landscape.
