It's a lot easier to reapply. To request a reconsideration you have to contact the visa office that processed your application. They generally do not reconsider requests unless a glaring and overriding error took place.

No doubt, reapplying is a lot easier. So IRCC decides based on request submitted for reconsideration after reviewing the application refusal notes or it is generally accepted by visa office based on simple reconsideration request sent by applicant.

Reconsiderations are very rarely considered for TRV refusals. I personally wouldn't waste your time requesting one and then waiting for an answer. I would reapply instead.

I know someone her TRV refusal has been sent for reconsideration. Do you think if visa officer had not gone through docs properly and after review her visa can be approved if refusal was based on document which was submitted along with initial application.

have you seen any case where they have considered for TRV reconsideration?
I have not. But it's possible there have been cases.

Hang on... Was it refused for "misrepresentation"? If so, that's another matter entirely.

TRV application to visit Canada and meet relatives for 07 days. " refusal statement... visiting Canada for 07 days: no friends; no relatives. " where as invitation letter from brother was attached. What do you see for such an application after review.

Hi Mbukhari,
I am also going through the same unpleasant experience. Really value your opinion. Did you request them to reconsider their decision or simply reapply?
Thank you!

I am sharing my experience with you all as it would help some one like me. In my view, IRCC won't change their decision, no matter how genuine your excuse is. In my case I had even screen shots of my application and it was obvious that "it" was due to a technical issue or something to do with the system. However, they did not consider my request to re-consider their decision. Also, they did not reply to my 1st request and so that I had to make a 2nd request to get this negative response. This whole thing took almost one month!

On the other hand, Saskatchewan positively responded to my request and in about 2 working days time transferred my nomination to my new EE profile.

In my journey I met couple of GOOD PEOPLE who had faced the same situation and they very generously shared their experience and even the documentation with me. They all have tried this option and now they have received their 2nd ITA and already they are in the process again.

My experience is that IRCC is very strict about changing their decisions and even to get any kind of response it takes a long time. So if any one of you face the same situation do not waste your valuable time requesting IRCC to re-consider their decision but immediately create a new EE profile and get your provincial nomination transferred to your new EE profile.

Good luck guys!

In all fairness you missed that you were getting 10 points for your wife’s education. Would also warn your wife that if she wants to get licensed as a physician in Canada that will be much harder than what you just experienced with CIC. There are very few residency spots leftover after Canadian students are matched. For some specialties like pathology, psychiatry, public health and GPs the chances are slightly better. The chances are also better if you are fluent in French. With the increase in enrolment and with Canadian citizens returning after attending medical school abroad there are only so many spots available. The wait lists and shortage of doctors are a budget issue not a shortage of actual doctors.

Well I didn't need her points at all. I have the saved screen shot of the application where I declared that we do not have a completed ECA for her. However, I failed to notice that I have received extra 10 points for her education. Actually I didn't bother much about my score as I had my SINP Nomination. I know its my mistake and I did cost me a lot.

Thnx for sharing the infor about practicing medicine in Canada. I know its hard. Actually she is looking at other options, which are related to the medical field. Are you a doctor or related to medical field? thnx anyways !

Not an MD but familiar with the health system. See many physicians who are unaware of what the stumbling blocks will be to getting relicensed in Canada. Most assume passing their licensing exams are the big issue when in fact it is getting a residency spot and finding a job after residency if you are able to get into a residency. Finding a job as a specialist can be very difficult and some doctors end up going broad to find work. Unless a physician needs to move to Canada I would recommend moving to another country where the chance of practicing are so much better. Unfortunately people read about wait times and assume there is a shortage of physicians. The wait times are mainly a budget issue and unless there is suddenly a large infusion of money to hire more doctors, pay for more hospital beds and operating time (not going to happen) the wait times will remain. IMGs need to be comfortable with not practicing if they move to Canada. Retraining will take 3-8 years if things go perfectly and there are no delays which is a lot of time if people have been practicing in their home countries.

Thnx for sharing this. Glad she's happy with something related to medicine but not strictly GP. Right now I'm focusing on receiving a fresh ITA and lodging my application. Thnx again canuck78 !
