2024年加拿大签证拒签率飙升是政策收紧、审核标准提高和其他因素共同作用的结果。2025年申请者需更注重材料细节、政策适应和专业规划,尤其在配额缩减背景下,抢占公立大学名额和强化个人背景是关键。未来,随着加拿大移民政策持续调整,灵活应对和提前布局将成为成功获签的核心竞争力。

2024年,加拿大拒绝了创纪录数量的申请来加工作、学习或访问的人员
渥太华去年拒绝了创纪录数量的有意来加拿大的访客、国际学生和外国劳工。
根据《多伦多星报》获取的数据,移民官员在2024年拒绝了2359157份临时居民申请,占申请总数的50%,高于前一年的1846180份(占比35%)。涵盖学习许可、工作许可和访问签证的拒签率达到了自2019年疫情前以来的最高水平。
在这三类人群中,去年有195万访客签证申请者被拒,占比54%(2023年为40%);290317名学习许可申请者被拒,占比52%(2023年为38%);115549名申请在加拿大工作许可的人被拒,占比22%(略低于2023年的23%)。
在加拿大民众面临可负担住房危机以及疫情后生活成本上升的巨大公共压力下,联邦政府设定了激进的目标来控制国内临时居民的数量。政府还将每年新的永久居民吸纳数量在2025年减少了20%,降至39.5万人,2026年为38万人,2027年为36.5万人。
为了控制国内激增的临时居民数量,渥太华一方面试图限制新的人员入境,另一方面指望已经在加拿大的移民在其合法许可到期后自愿离开,其中一部分人会通过符合条件的项目转为永久居民身份。
然而,在对待已经在加拿大的移民方面,移民数据似乎讲述了一个不同的情况。
临时居民身份即将到期的移民有资格通过申请所谓的访客记录来延长他们的合法身份。该文件允许他们合法地留在加拿大,但不能工作或学习。
移民部的数据显示,收到的访客记录申请数量从2019年的196965份增加了一倍,到2024年达到了389254份。拒签率徘徊在5%左右。去年,321277名临时居民获得了延期,仅比2023年的333672人略有下降。
加拿大移民律师协会的创始成员叶卡捷琳娜·尼奥伊米娜代表该协会发言时表示:“如果你留在加拿大,却无法让自己以学生、工人或永久居民的身份合法化,那么退而求其次的办法就是申请访客记录。”
虽然她对加拿大临时移民拒签数量的激增并不感到惊讶,但她表示,访客记录批准数量居高不下是不合理的。
现在,申请一份访客记录需花费100加元,目前的处理时间为119天。
“变革移工组织”的执行董事赛义德·胡桑表示,申请获得加拿大的临时居民身份现在已经变成了“碰运气”的事,因为获批的几率只有50%。
他指出:“所以,即使申请的总人数在增加,但拒签率上升得更为显著。这是把移民当作替罪羊的一部分。这不是政策问题,而是政治问题……政府不仅在拒绝移民,还在从他们的希望和梦想中获利。”
胡桑说,临时居民申请费是不予退还的,平均每位申请者要缴纳150加元。仅在2024年,这些费用估计就达到了7.079亿加元,其中包括来自被拒申请的3.54亿加元。
加拿大移民、难民及公民部的数据显示,2019年,在临时居民申请中存在虚假陈述或隐瞒重要事实的情况导致了26956起拒签案例,到2024年这一数字飙升至110808起,部分原因是申请数量的增加。
该部门在给《多伦多星报》的一份声明中表示:“加拿大移民、难民及公民部的工作人员接受过如何检测和打击欺诈行为的培训,他们努力维护加拿大公民身份和移民系统的完整性。”
“加拿大移民、难民及公民部正在不断改进其系统以检测欺诈证据,并与国内外的合作伙伴合作打击欺诈行为。”
尼奥伊米娜说,她和其他移民律师看到越来越多的客户在没有正当理由的情况下被拒签,而对潜在虚假陈述的调查数量呈指数级增长,这引发了“严重的警示信号”。
她问道:“这是真正努力打击欺诈行为,还是为增加拒签数量找的一个方便的理由呢?虚假陈述可以是一个笼统的术语,很容易被用于解释一些小的不一致或被认为的疏漏。这些调查缺乏透明度,令人深感担忧,而且确实存在因非故意错误而不公平地惩罚申请者的风险。”
移民部表示,访客记录的申请是由官员根据具体情况酌情批准的,并且必须在申请人当前身份到期前至少30天提交。申请的评估基于申请人已经在加拿大的时间长短、延长停留的目的以及他们在不从事未经授权工作的情况下维持自身生活的能力等因素。
官员们表示,访客记录可以多次签发,但持有该文件的外国公民在计算非永久居民人口时不被计入在内。
虽然访客记录允许移民合法地留在加拿大,但尼奥伊米娜担心,即使他们仍然“有证件”,这仍会催生一个下层阶级和影子经济。
她说:“这些人很脆弱。他们不被允许工作。他们容易受到那些承诺提供不一定存在的移民项目的诈骗者的侵害。他们也容易受到剥削他们的雇主的侵害。”

Canada Refused Record number Of People Applying To Come To Canada To Work, Study Or Visit In 2024
Ottawa refused a record number of would-be visitors, international students and foreign workers seeking to come to Canada last year.
According to data obtained by the Star, immigration officials rejected 2,359,157 or 50 per cent of temporary resident applications in 2024, up from 1,846,180 or 35 per cent the year before. The refusal rate — covering study permits, work permits and visitor visas — hit the highest level since 2019, before the pandemic.
Among the three subgroups, 1.95 million or 54 per cent of visitor visa applicants were denied last year — up from 40 per cent in 2023, along with 290,317 or 52 per cent of study permit applicants (up from 38 per cent), and 115,549 or 22 per cent of those who applied for authorization to work in Canada (down slightly from 23 per cent).
The federal government has set aggressive targets to rein in the number of temporary residents in the country under tremendous public pressure amid the affordable housing crisis and rising costs of living faced by Canadians post-pandemic. It also reduced the annual intake of new permanent residents by 20 per cent to 395,000 in 2025, 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.
To clamp down on the surging temporary resident population in the country, Ottawa has tried to limit new entries while banking on migrants already here to leave voluntarily after their legal permits expire, with a portion of them transitioning to permanent residence under eligible programs.
However, immigration data appears to show a different story when it comes to showing the door to migrants who are already here.
Migrants with expiring temporary resident status are eligible to extend their legal status by applying for what’s called a visitor record. The document allows them to remain here legally but doesn’t let them work or study.
Immigration Department data showed the number of visitor record applications received doubled from 196,965 in 2019 to 389,254 in 2024. The refusal rate hovered at around five per cent. Last year, extension was granted to 321,277 temporary residents — only down slightly from 333,672 in 2023.
“If you remain here and you cannot legalize yourself either as a student, a worker or a permanent resident, the fallback solution is a visitor record,” said Ekaterina Neouimina, who speaks on behalf of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association as a founding member.
While she’s not surprised by the jump in refusals of temporary immigration to Canada, she said it doesn’t make sense that the visitor record approvals remained high.
A visitor record application now costs $100, and current processing time is 119 days.
Syed Hussan, executive director of the Migrant Workers for Change, said trying to get temporary residence to Canada has become “a toss-up” as there’s only a 50 per cent chance that one is granted.
“So even though the total number of applicants is increasing, the rejection rate is going up much more significantly,” he noted. “This is part of scapegoating migrants. This isn’t about policy. It’s politics … The government is not only rejecting migrants. It is profiting from their hopes and dreams.”
Hussan said temporary resident application fees are non-refundable and average $150 per applicant. In 2024 alone, they generated an estimated $707.9 million in fees, including $354 million from refused applications.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s data show misrepresentation or withholding of material facts in temporary resident applications accounted for 26,956 instances for refusals in 2019, which soared to 110,808 in 2024, partially due to an increased volume of applications.
“IRCC employees receive training on how to detect and combat fraud, and they work hard to protect the integrity of Canada’s citizenship and immigration system,” the department said in a statement to the Star.
“IRCC is continuously improving its systems to detect evidence of fraud and works with its local and international partners to crack down on fraud.
Neouimina said she and other immigration lawyers have been seeing more and more clients refused for no good reason, and the exponential surge in investigations into potential misrepresentation raises “serious red flags.”
“Is this a genuine effort to combat fraud, or a convenient way to justify increased refusals?” she asked. “Misrepresentation can be a catch-all term, easily applied to minor inconsistencies or perceived omissions. The lack of transparency in these investigations is deeply concerning, and there’s a real risk of unfairly penalizing applicants for unintentional errors.”
The Immigration Department said requests for visitor records are granted on a case-by-case basis at an officer’s discretion, and must be submitted at least 30 days before a person’s current status expires. Applications are assessed based on how long the person has already been in Canada, the purpose of extending the stay and their ability to support themselves without unauthorized work, among other factors.
Officials said visitor records can be issued repeatedly but foreign nationals holding the document are not counted in the non-permanent resident population calculation.
While a visitor record allows migrants to remain in Canada legally, Neouimina fears it’s going to promote an underclass and shadow economy, even though they remain “documented.”
“These people are vulnerable,” she said. “They’re not allowed to work. They’re vulnerable to fraudsters who promise them immigration programs that do not necessarily exist. They’re vulnerable to employers who exploit them.”
