The only published rate for Canada
53.1% of B-1/B-2 visitor visa applications from Canada were refused in FY2025. Visitor visas are the one class where the State Department publishes a figure for each nationality, so this is the only number on the site that is genuinely specific to Canada rather than a worldwide average.
