    You’re suggesting that it’s obvious why world cup-related travel would result in a larger fraction of visa applications denied than other travel? It’s not to me.

      I am not saying it’s obvious, I am refuting the suggestion it’s arbitrary and not understood… you not knowing the reason for something does not imply the reason is unknown to all

      The vast majority of travel visas are denied because Canada can’t verify something about security or ties to the applicants’ origin country… “cup-related” travel has zero mitigating power over those, if anything it makes things worst

        Such a suggestion did not come from me. The investigation might well be as simple as finding the right person to call at the relevant bureau.
