Part 6: Common Reasons for Canada Visa Refusal (And How to Avoid Them)

Understanding why applications are refused is key to a successful outcome.

Refusal Reason	Explanation & Mitigation Strategy
Insufficient Funds	The Officer is not convinced you have enough money. Strategy: Show a robust 6-month bank statement with an ending balance that can comfortably cover your and your dependents’ trip costs. Include all other liquid/fixed assets (FDR, property).
Weak Ties to Home Country	The Officer believes you may not return to Bangladesh. Strategy: Emphasize strong ties: NOC from your long-term employer, proof of property/assets, family responsibilities (spouse, children), and an established business.
Purpose of Visit Unclear	The Officer is unsure of your true intentions or itinerary. Strategy: Provide a detailed, logical day-by-day travel plan, strong hotel bookings, and a clear, well-written Cover Letter that justifies your trip (e.g., tourism, specific event, family visit).
Travel History	Lack of previous travel outside of Bangladesh. Strategy: While not mandatory, a history of foreign travel (and returning home) builds confidence. If you have no history, focus extra strongly on your financial/social ties.
Incomplete/Fraudulent Documents	Missing forms or inconsistencies in your paperwork. Strategy: Use the official IRCC checklist and our guide. NEVER use fake documents; this results in a multi-year ban.

Part 7: FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Do I need to buy the air ticket before applying for the visa?

A: No, you should only submit a reserved flight itinerary with your application. Do NOT buy the final ticket until your visa is approved. Air Tickets Point provides this itinerary service. Call our Hotline: +8801315403803

Q: What is the minimum bank balance required for a Canada visa?

A: There is no fixed “minimum,” as it depends on the length of your stay and whether you are traveling alone or with family. However, you must demonstrate sufficient funds to cover all expenses (flights, accommodation, daily costs) and still have a strong remaining balance to support your life in Bangladesh upon return. A general guideline is to show a solvent balance plus 6 months of active, non-lump-sum transactions.

Q: Can I apply for a Multiple-Entry Visa?

A: When you apply for a Visitor Visa (TRV), IRCC automatically considers you for a Multiple-Entry Visa (MEV). The MEV allows you to travel to Canada repeatedly for up to 10 years or one month before your passport expires (whichever comes first), though you can only stay up to six months per visit (unless a Border Officer specifies otherwise).

Q: Where is the Canadian Embassy in Dhaka?

A: Visa applications are submitted through VFS Global, the Canada Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Dhaka. The Embassy of Canada in Dhaka handles diplomatic, political, and other functions, but the VAC is your point of contact for visa application submission and biometrics.

Q: I was refused a Canada visa before. Can I re-apply?

A: Yes, you can. You must, however, address the exact reason for the previous refusal in your new application. This usually means strengthening your financial documents, proving stronger ties to Bangladesh, or clarifying your purpose of travel with a better itinerary.
