When you need it

You have been refused a visa before, in this country or another, and you are now applying again. Application forms ask about earlier refusals, and the officer reading the new file will see the old one. This letter discloses the refusal plainly, gives the reason the refusal letter stated, explains it truthfully, and shows what has changed.

Not for: an appeal or review of the refusal itself, which follows the destination country's own procedure and is usually done through an advocate or a registered representative. Not for a gap in studies or work (use the Gap Year Affidavit or the Employment Gap Affidavit).

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Not a stamp-dutiable instrument — a letter, not an agreement or a conveyance.

Registration

Not registrable.

Notarisation

Not legally required for the letter itself. Some offices ask that a letter of explanation be signed and dated by the applicant; none requires it to be sworn. Where an office asks for the explanation as an affidavit, use the same facts in an affidavit instead.

Witnesses

Not required.

To The Visa Officer,

Date: 2 April 2026

LETTER OF EXPLANATION: EARLIER VISA REFUSAL

Reference: X

I, Navdeep Singh, of House No. 88, Sector 40-B, Chandigarh, passport number N4567890, am applying for a study permit application for Canada. I am writing to tell you about an earlier refusal and to explain it.

The earlier refusal. On 1 April 2026, Canada refused my application for the following type of visa: Study permit. The refusal letter gave this reason: The officer was not satisfied that I would leave Canada at the end of my stay, based on my family ties and the purpose of my visit.

What led to it. My first application did not include proof of my father's farm income or the admission letter's fee receipt, so the officer could not see how the course would be paid for.

What is different now. This application includes the farm income affidavit with the sale slips, the paid fee receipt and a letter from my employer confirming my leave.

I confirm that I have disclosed every earlier visa refusal in this application, and that this letter is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I will give any further information the office may need.

Enclosed: Copy of the refusal letter; farm income affidavit; fee receipt; employer letter

Yours faithfully,
