Receiving IRS Notice CP567 — a rejection of your ITIN application — is frustrating but fixable. Most Canadian ITIN rejections happen for specific, correctable reasons. ITIN Plus identifies exactly what went wrong and resubmits your corrected application as an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent.
What Is IRS Notice CP567?
IRS Notice CP567 is the official rejection notice for ITIN applications. It states that your Form W-7 was denied and your ITIN was not assigned. The notice includes a specific rejection reason code. Common reasons for Canadian rejections:
- Incomplete documents: Missing secondary ID, expired passport
- Insufficient exception documentation: No proof of US income source
- Wrong exception selected: Incorrect box checked on W-7
- Address mismatch: Address on documents doesn't match W-7
- Missing treaty basis: Treaty claim not properly documented for the exception used
Most Common Canadian ITIN Rejection Reasons
Missing exception evidence: Box (a) claims treaty benefit but provides no proof of US income requiring the ITIN. Fix: provide a letter from the US platform, payment statement, or W-8BEN request.
Expired passport: Passport expired before or during processing. Fix: renew Canadian passport and reapply.
Address mismatch: Canadian address on passport or ID doesn't match W-7 address. Fix: use consistent address across all documents.
Wrong box selected: Wrong exception code for your income type. Fix: ITIN Plus selects the correct exception and provides required documentation.
Reapplying After CP567
After receiving CP567, you can reapply with corrected documents. There is no waiting period — you can reapply immediately. CP567 does not negatively affect future applications.
Reapplying through ITIN Plus (as a CAA) is strongly recommended after a rejection — we identify the exact rejection reason, correct the issue, and resubmit with complete documentation. Our CAA status means we can verify and certify your documents, ensuring a much higher probability of approval on resubmission.

After you reapply with corrected documents, the processing time is the same: 8–14 weeks from the IRS submission date. There is no waiting period after a rejection.

Yes. IRS Notice CP567 does not impose a waiting period. You can reapply as soon as your corrected documents are ready. Contact ITIN Plus at apply@itinplus.com to start the corrected application process.
Does a rejected ITIN application affect future applications?

Why should I use a CAA after getting rejected?
An IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) like ITIN Plus reviews your complete application package before submission. This catches the same issues that caused your rejection — before the IRS sees them. CAA submission also means faster processing (direct submission) and no original document mailing risk.
