Understanding Visa Types: Single vs Multiple Entry IRCC has updated its guidelines, making it more challenging for visitors to obtain multiple entry visas. Immigration officers now assess whether a visitor qualifies for single or multiple entries based on the purpose of their visit, available funds, medical needs, and other factors. A multiple entry visa allows unlimited travel in Canada within its validity period (up to 10 years), while a single entry visa permits only one entrance; re-entry requires obtaining another visa.
Navigating Visa Refusals and Reapplication Strategies Visa applications may be denied if immigration officers doubt an applicant's intent to leave Canada after their stay or due to inadmissibility issues like health concerns or criminal records. There is no formal appeal process; however, applicants can reapply if significant changes occur in their circumstances such as improved health status or successful rehabilitation from past offenses. IRCC maintains detailed records of refusals that can guide future applications by highlighting areas needing improvement.
