Visit the RBC Website. The first step is to go to the official RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) website. This ensures that you're accessing accurate and up-to-date information about the card.

Navigate to the Personal Section. Once you're on the RBC website, look for the "Personal" section. This is typically located in the main menu at the top of the page. Click on it to proceed.

Go to the Credit Cards Section. In the Personal section, you'll find a variety of banking and financial services. Look for "Credit Cards" and click on it. This will take you to the section where you can explore the different credit cards offered by RBC.

Select 'View Credit Cards By Category'. In the Credit Cards section, you'll have the option to view credit cards by category. This will help you find the right card for your needs. Click on 'View Credit Cards By Category' to proceed.

Choose 'No Annual Fee Credit Cards '. Since the RBC Visa Platinum is a no-annual-fee card, you'll want to select "No Annual Fee Credit Cards" from the list of categories. This will narrow down your options and make it easier to find the card you're looking for.

Be a Canadian Resident. Applicants must be residents of Canada to be eligible for the card.

Have Reached the Age of Majority in Your Province. Individuals applying for the card must have reached the age of majority in their respective province or territory.

Have a Good Credit Score (>760). While specific credit score requirements may vary, a good credit score, generally defined as above 760, is typically required for approval.

Low Credit Score. Your credit score is a measure of your creditworthiness. If your score is low, it may indicate to the credit card issuer that you're a higher-risk borrower. As a result, they may deny your application.

Insufficient Income. Credit card issuers want to ensure that you have the means to repay your debts. If your income doesn't meet their minimum requirements, or if they believe that your debt-to-income ratio is too high, they may deny your application.

Negative Information on Your Credit Report. This can include things like late or missed payments, bankruptcies, or charge-offs. These types of negative marks can make credit card issuers wary of lending to you.

Too Many Recent Credit Inquiries. When you apply for a credit card, it results in a hard inquiry on your credit report. If you have too many of these inquiries in a short time, it can make it appear as though you're desperate for credit, which can lead to a denial.

Not Meeting the Card's Specific Requirements. In the case of the RBC Visa Platinum, there are specific income requirements that applicants must meet. If you don't meet these requirements, your application may be denied.
