When you check a school’s visa-denial refund policy, keep an eye on:
📍Documentation required, e.g. an official visa refusal letter from IRCC, sometimes in original paper form, or with headers.
📍Timing: Request submitted within certain period (before term start, or by an add/drop deadline, or within X days of visa refusal).
📍Enrollment status: Some policies only apply if you haven’t started courses or haven’t enrolled yet. If you’ve begun courses, the refund may be limited or not apply.
📍Fees deducted: Processing fees, administrative or “non-refundable” amounts may still be deducted.
📍Conditions on the denial,e.g. visa denied not due to misrepresentation, or within certain date range relative to program start.
📍Type of payment refundable, deposit vs full tuition vs just initial fees vs ancillary fees.
