jayfierce:
Happy new year all! Wish all TRV hopefuls success in their applications.

I applied for my GCMS Notes and finally got it yesterday. I also got one from a friend who was refused and compared both. There's not much information, however there are a few important things which can be deduced:

1. Your name is run against USA and Canadian databases to check for criminal records.

2. Your name is searched for in IRCC database. This makes lying about previous refusals futile.

For my friend's refusal on purpose of visit and travel history, two offices were involved: London office gave the first review and Accra office gave the final decision: Docs and notes reviewed-limited previous travel demonstrated-no compelling need to travel- Refused as per R179.

My decision was from only Accra: Coming for tourism, Purpose of trip is credible, History of travel demonstrated, bank statements show sufficient funds to pay for the trip, I am satisfied that the applicant is a bona-fide visitor under R179. TRV issued.

Currently researching more into R179 to get more information but I believe it's the economic situation that influenced a lot of refusals last year. We hope this year will be better.

. Hey jayfierce!! IRCC database same as express entry ? Previous refusals just for usa n canada alone? Nice works from u guys!!
