If a Canadian tourist visa is refused, will a second application automatically be rejected without further investigation?

No, a second application for a Canadian tourist visa will not be automatically rejected. However, reapplying with the same information will not change the original decision ¹. To increase the chances of an approved visa application, you should: - Identify the reasons for the rejection ² - Provide new information or evidence that addresses the reasons for the rejection ¹ ² - Ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria before reapplying ² - Review your Global Case Management System (GCMS) notes before reapplying ³ - Consider getting professional assistance from a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) or an immigration lawyer ² https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1485&top=16 https://www.infoplacecanada.ca/post/what-you-should-do-after-a-visa-refusal-and-how-to-request-reconsideration
