Hi everyone,

For those who have applied for a Canadian visitor visa recently, have you noticed any improvement in approval rates or positive decisions?

I’m especially interested in applications submitted in the last few months. Are more people getting approved compared with last year, or are refusals still very common?

If you were approved recently, please share:

Your country

When you applied

How long processing took

Whether it was your first application or a reapplication after refusal

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for advice from people who may have gone through a similar situation, or from anyone who understands Canadian visitor visa applications.

I previously travelled to Canada, but I was refused entry / removed from Canada, and a one-year exclusion order was issued against me. I respected the decision and left Canada. The exclusion period has now ended.

My previous Canadian visa was cancelled, and I have also renewed my passport. I am now considering submitting a new application for a Canadian visitor visa for a short tourist visit only.

I want to be fully transparent in my new application. I do not want to hide anything from IRCC. I plan to declare the previous exclusion order, explain what happened, and provide supporting documents showing that the exclusion period has ended.

I would like to ask:

Has anyone here successfully applied for a Canadian visitor visa after a one-year exclusion order ended?

Did you need to apply for an ARC, or was it not required after the one-year period ended?

What documents did you include in your new application?

How did you explain the previous refusal/removal in your letter of explanation?

Is it better to apply immediately after the exclusion period ends, or wait longer and strengthen the file first?

What kind of ties to my home country would be most important to show?

Does renewing the passport create any issue, or should I simply include both the old passport and the new passport information?

My intention is only to visit Canada temporarily as a tourist, for a short and clearly defined trip. I do not intend to work, study, or stay beyond the authorized period.

Any advice, experience, or suggestions about how to prepare a stronger and more transparent application would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I previously travelled to Canada, but I was refused entry / removed from Canada, and a one-year exclusion order was issued against me. I respected the decision and left Canada. The exclusion period has now ended.

During my interview with the immigration officer, I explained that during my previous stay I had helped someone for about one week. I also told the officer that if I found a job, I would work. I now understand that this answer was a serious mistake for a visitor, because a visitor is not allowed to work in Canada without a valid work permit. I also understand that helping someone, even for a short period, may be viewed as unauthorized work depending on the circumstances.

My previous Canadian visa was cancelled, and I have also renewed my passport. I am now considering submitting a new application for a Canadian visitor visa for a short tourist visit only.

I want to be fully transparent in my new application. I do not want to hide anything from IRCC.

How should I explain the previous issue with the immigration officer in my letter of explanation?

Should I mention the one-week help exactly as I explained it to the officer?
