Study permit refused for missing documents you're sure you uploaded? Consider a reconsideration webform

Step-by-Step

If your non-SDS study permit application was refused citing a missing document (e.g. IELTS scores or transcripts) that you're confident you actually uploaded:

  1. Double-check exactly which upload section/category you placed the document under. A document uploaded in the wrong section of the online application can sometimes be overlooked by the reviewing officer, even though it's technically present in your file.

  2. If you're confident the document was correctly uploaded, submit a webform requesting reconsideration, explaining that the specific document cited as missing was in fact submitted with the original application.


This isn't a guaranteed fix, but a reconsideration webform is the standard next step when you believe a refusal was based on a factual error about what was or wasn't submitted, rather than a genuine gap in your file.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Verify which section of the application you uploaded a document under before assuming it was missing entirely.
  • Tip: If a refusal cites a document you're sure you submitted, a webform requesting reconsideration is the standard next step.
