Canada refused more than a quarter of all temporary resident visa applications in 2017 — and 30 percent in the first three months of 2018, the Globe and Mailnewspaper is reporting. The report, published July 8, is based on data obtained by the Globe and Mailfrom Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that show both the number of Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) applications for purposes including tourism, school, business, conferences and family visits — and the number of refusals — increasing significantly since 2012.
