Refusal · Reconsideration
If the officer overlooked documents already in your file or made a clear factual error, you can ask IRCC to reopen and reconsider the decision instead of starting a new application. Reconsideration is discretionary, so the grounds must be clear.

Choose the right route
The two routes solve different problems. The wrong choice costs time.
When it can work
Valid bank statements were submitted, but the refusal cites insufficient funds.
Job letters or property papers in the file were treated as missing.
Travel history, length of stay or personal details were misread.
A serious concern was raised in the decision without a chance to respond.
Our process
We obtain the officer's notes and check them against the documents you actually uploaded.
We identify where the decision contradicts the evidence on record.
A clear, professional letter that points to the overlooked evidence and the relevant IRCC guidance.
We send it through the appropriate IRCC channel and track the response.
If your case is better suited to a fresh application, we tell you before you spend time on a request.
Book a refusal reviewWhat is a reconsideration request?
It is a request asking IRCC to reopen and re-assess a refused application because the officer made a clear factual error or overlooked evidence already submitted.
Can I add new documents?
No. Reconsideration relies on the evidence already in your original application. If you need to add new bank statements or documents, a fresh application is the right route.
Is there an IRCC fee?
IRCC does not charge a separate application fee for a reconsideration request. Our professional fee for preparing it is set out in your retainer agreement.
How long does IRCC take to respond?
There is no fixed timeline and IRCC may not respond to every request. If the file is reopened, IRCC will tell you the next steps.
Does a reconsideration request guarantee approval?
No. Reconsideration is discretionary. Professional help improves how your grounds are presented, but IRCC decides whether to reopen the file.
Send us your refusal letter and the documents you submitted. We will tell you whether reconsideration or reapplication fits your case.
