    Visitor visa refusal rate for Canada nationals

    The State Department publishes refusal rates by nationality, counting applicants at every post, not by post. A refusal is what applicants usually call a visa rejection. This is the rate for nationals of Canada wherever they applied, not a rate for Toronto.

    The State Department publishes each of these separately, on its own schedule. We show each one with its own date and never add figures from one to another.
