Reconsideration 

Requesting that a visa officer take another look at an immigration application that has been denied is known as a reconsideration. If a person thinks the visa officer erred, they might decide to file a reconsideration for a denied immigration application. Applications for temporary status (such as a work permit, study permit, or visitor visa) or permanent residency (like Express Entry) may be given another chance.

There are numerous legal ways to overturn a rejection, including a reconsideration. Other legal options may be pursued concurrently with or in addition to a request for reconsideration. In certain situations, you might be eligible to file an application for a Judicial Review at the Federal Court of Canada or appeal the denial to the Immigration Appeal Division.

To request a reconsideration, there are no restrictions or costs. Compared to alternative choices, preparing a reconsideration request is less expensive and more straightforward. The chances of your reconsideration being granted are often slim, and the visa officer has a great deal of discretion in making that decision. Additionally, they have discretion over processing times. On the other hand, your immigration application can be granted if your request for reconsideration is granted.
