In any case, it's not the end

• You will usually have the right to appeal the decision, and have the decision reviewed by a judge. These procedures can be quite costly, however, and if you have passed the specified time limits, you may not have those options.
  Please note, the time to file an appeal is limited (usually 15 days)
   
• You can also submit a new application for a visa even after you have been refused; any new application must be considered on its own merits. However, with a prior refusal, you need to be prepared to document your case thoroughly. We usually recommend doing a search of your immigration file prior to submitting a new application. A search of the refused file will give you the opportunity to address any concerns that were raised before.
