Why does ICA not provide reasons for citizenship rejection?
- ICA does not disclose reasons — the decision is holistic and entirely at their discretion. A rejection means your profile did not meet the prevailing benchmark at that time; it is not a permanent bar.
- Focus on building a stronger profile before reapplying rather than trying to appeal without new substance.
