Refused before?

How we rebuild a refused student visa file

Refusal letters give generic reasons. The officer's internal GCMS notes show the real concerns. We don't resubmit the same file; we answer each concern with evidence.

  1. Order and decode GCMS notes through an access-to-information request
  2. Audit the original file for gaps, unclear funds or a weak course choice
  3. Gather targeted evidence: traceable funds, tax returns, ties to Pakistan
  4. Rewrite the SOP and draft a formal submission letter
  5. Re-file as your representative and respond to any procedural fairness letter

Canada student visa FAQs

How long does a Canada student visa take from Pakistan?

Processing often takes around 8 to 12 weeks, depending on seasonal volume and verification. Check IRCC's current processing times before you plan your intake.

How much money do I need for a Canada study permit?

First-year tuition, plus living costs of at least CAD 23,448 for a single applicant outside Quebec (applications from 1 September 2026), plus travel. Funds must have a clear, traceable source.

Do I need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL)?

Most post-secondary study permit applications need a PAL from the province together with your Letter of Acceptance.

Can I apply with a study gap?

Yes. Study or work gaps can be explained with relevant experience, certifications and a well-structured Statement of Purpose.

Can I work while studying in Canada?

Eligible students can work off-campus up to 24 hours a week during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks.

My student visa was refused. Can I apply again?

Yes. We order your GCMS notes to see the officer's real concerns, then rebuild the file with targeted evidence rather than resubmitting the same documents.

Can my spouse come with me and work?

Spouse open work permits are now limited mainly to partners of students in master's programs of 16 months or longer, doctoral programs and certain professional degrees. Partners of other students may still apply to accompany you as visitors.

Do I need a medical exam for a Canada study permit?

Usually yes. Applicants from Pakistan who plan to study for more than six months generally need an immigration medical exam with an IRCC panel physician. Doing it before you apply can avoid delays.
