7 reasons for Canadian visa rejection
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported seven reasons your Canadian visa application was rejected.
Canada is a choice location for immigrants, students, and tourists, and according to the Vanguard, the Canadian immigration officers are always out to ensure that only genuinely qualified applications get approved. Recall that Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Christopher Musa, and other top military officials had their Canadian visa applications denied.
One of the reasons is proof of funds. The immigration officers must ensure that they only approve the visas of those who are financially capable of supporting their trip or relocation to Canada. If you have a job, it needs to be clearly stated and legal. Your cash inflow and outflow can be a good indication of your financial standing because no country wants to become a refuge for broke fellows.
