Application Reconsiderations – Don't Lose Hope After a Refusal

Was your visa, permit, or immigration application refused? You’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. At Makland Immigration, we help clients review their refusal letters, identify what went wrong, and determine whether a reconsideration is possible.
A refusal doesn’t have to be the end of your immigration journey.

What is an Application Reconsideration?

A reconsideration request is a formal appeal to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or a visa officer, asking them to review their decision on your application. This is only recommended when:

• You believe the officer made a clear error, or
• You provided all necessary documents, but they were overlooked or misunderstood.

This is not a re-application—it’s a legal way to ask for a second review of the original decision without starting over.

When Should You Request a Reconsideration?

You may consider it if:

• You received a refusal letter that seems unfair or inconsistent
• Your application was refused due to misinterpretation or clerical errors
• Your supporting documents were ignored or misread
• You were refused without being given a chance to respond to concerns

❗Note: Not all refusals are eligible for reconsideration. Our team will evaluate your case honestly and guide you toward the best course of action—whether that’s a reconsideration, re-application, or appeal.
