Frequently Asked Questions
-
01 Common Refusal Reasons
Electronic travel visa refusals often result from incomplete forms, passport mismatches, or unclear travel history. Godwit Law Office is here to help. Our lawyers identify errors, collect supporting documents, and craft explanations that address officials’ concerns. -
02 Reapplications After Refusal
There is no set waiting period for reapplying after an eTA refusal. However, it should only be done after all issues are resolved and documents are complete. Once corrected, the new application is more likely to proceed smoothly. As your legal partner, we ensure the grounds for refusal are addressed to reduce future risk. -
03 Admissibility Concerns
Criminal records or serious medical conditions may block travel authorizations, often raising questions during the review process. Godwit Law addresses these concerns by providing supporting documents, such as medical records or police certificates, to help strengthen the application. -
04 First-Time Applications
If you're applying for an eTA Canada for the first time, the process might feel overwhelming. At Godwit Law, we walk first-time applicants through every requirement and carefully review their information to minimize the risk of refusal. -
05 Renewals and Reapplications
Once approved, a Canadian electronic travel authorization cannot be reused. Renewal is the only option. Timely reapplications reduce stress, which is where Godwit Law can help. Travellers receive form updates and confirmation of details to ensure their eTAs remain valid. -
06 Canada eTA Application Official Website
The official eTA Canada application website, managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), processes all online submissions. Our team carefully reviews applications, corrects any issues, and provides guidance throughout the process. -
07 How Long is TRP Valid?
There is no standard duration for a TRP. Some permits are valid for a single day, while others may last for several months or even years.
Decisions depend on the strength of the application, the reason for travel, the applicant's history, rehabilitation efforts, and any public safety concerns.
Strong supporting evidence can lead to longer validity periods, though short-term permits are more common at border crossings. Planning ahead is essential, as TRP Canada processing time at consulates can take weeks or months.
