I saw that. First time applicant for (spain)schengen visa, no previous schengen
Any way, the information you provided is not sufficient.
If you can, please build your travel experience.
Visa is not about monies all the time or documents, that can also be an disadvantage.
From your feedbacks, looks like you do not have a travel history. That is key
Maybe you try visiting other places.
Goodluck.

hunee:
Any previous schengen visa. Share some information

I don't know the status of the business you didn't include in your first application with CAC. Is it registered? If yes, when? If it has been registered under CAC before your first denial, then you can't use it because you have to explain to the VO why you withheld it in your first application but have decided to use it now. Except the VO is willing to overlook it....Which is 50-50

The account name crediting the 2M monthly would determine how to strategically lay your claim. If it is not your name that appears as the creditor, you can claim you carry out business deals with them and they pay you every month. Get the company's letter head paper, write an agreement deal that you are consented to(even stating terms and conditions to make it look real) bill them invoices of the amount that you credit into your account. Don't make it to be permanently 2M. Let it fluctuate with a plus or minus...like 300k, depending on your discretion and ability.

Again, I don't know the nature of the two businesses and maybe there's any correlation. What was your first discipline? Can your first degree be linked to that other business generating 2M to make it appear there's a correlation between your discipline and the business generating you 2M since it is generating this huge. Do you have any trade or apprentice certificate of the business that generates 2M to just show or prove how you were able to acquire the knowledge to be able to carry out that contract with the XYZ company, even if there's no correlation between your first discipline and the business? For Instance, you can't be a carpenter and claim to be a mechanic, too. You must show how you were able to acquire both skills before you claim you can spread your knowledge on these two skills

But if it hasn't been registered or you just registered it after your first denial, you don't need to go through this process. You can still use it straightaway as a new business that you established after your first denial

Shalom

In my humble opinion, it is not as complicated as you believe. If the second business had been registered with CAC before you submitted your first application, then I will suggest you drop it and maintain your ABC company with the business you used in your first application.

If I were you, I wouldn't rush to apply as I will use the next 2-3 months to build my economic and financial tie with the business you indicated in your first application. It is strategy. The account will be flowing with in and out of cash. Invoices and receipts with my customized company name will be available to tender to the VO. For instance, if I issue an invoice of 300k to a customer, I will make sure that 300k enter my account the date the invoice was issued and the name on the invoice tally with the creditor. If I buy products and received 1M receipts, I will ensure 1M leaves my account the day my receipt was issued. If you can't do it alone, your siblings or family members or trusted friends can help you run your account. Meanwhile, be smart!!! The account name crediting your account must tally with whatsoever name on your invoice.

While you maintain your ABC company, submit your work ID, payslip and your salary account. Your leave letter must be inclusive. Let your leave dates tally with your intended month of travel. For instance, if your leave is 30 days, let your intended stay in Canada be 10-15 days and falls within your leave period.

Do you have assets(fixed, landed, building, investment, car, e.t.c)? If yes, then include the evidences in your application.

For your family tie- are you married? If yes, use your husband and children. Are you single? Use your parents and make it look like you are the air they breathe.

Above all, PRAY FOR GRACE TO SPEAK.

Shalom!!!

Hello everyone,

I want to submit a visitors visa application but I’m concerned about previous refusals.

My best friend invited me to Canada for her daughter’s 1st birthday on the 30th of December 2023 which I missed and she re-invited me again to visit.

In a previous application that was refused in 2022, I claimed to work at Company ABC and had one other business but I never stated that I had one other existing business?
How do I change my story here without being inconsistent because the other business is the more lucrative one?

Please not that, I still work at Company ABC and I also still run my two businesses.

There’s a salary account for Company ABC and there’s a personal account with remittances from my two businesses

slimmsyyetty:
In my own opinion, why didn't you include your two businesses in your first application? Perhaps, it would have boost your economy tie in your previous application if you had included them, aside your ABC company job. In order to avoid your inconsistency, If your two businesses are registered under CAC AFTER your denial, then you may go ahead and use them to further strengthen your economic tie. If they aren't registered till now, you may show invoices and receipts of the business transactions from AFTER your denial, i.e. if you would like to use them(the two businesses).

Still maintain your ABC company job and don't forget to indicate your canada and us denial i.e. if you have had a US denial after your first application.

Also avoid MISREPRESENTATION in your second application. Don't let anything be contradictory between your first and second application. If you indicated a-z in your first application, ensure you maintain filling the same a-z in your second application EXCEPT you have recent documents to back up any achievements you had after your denial. For instance, if you are single in your first application but now married (after your denial), before you can change your status on your application, you need to attach your marriage certificate and wedding pics as an authentic prove to effect the changes between your first and second application. This doesn't come with MISREPRESENTATION OR INCONSISTENCY.

Finally, what was the reason for your refusal? Tackle it in your second application. Work STRONGLY on your ties- Family, financial and economic ties. Ensure you make the VO see your sure return.

Shalom!!!

Depending on how long you're staying. If you're going on vacation alone, input 4000CAD. This will be enough to cater for unforeseen events, when in Canada, even if you're not going to spend all. My humble opinion.

That 2k would only take care of your ticket. You may even pay more.

Pamda1234:
Make the new application without regards to the refused one (list your past refusals though). Then make sure to get family ties (any close family member) to make a reference letter and how important your bond is physically. Then you can get a church or mosque's reference letter (religious ties) that you attend. Then pictures can also articulate your business. Get a picture of you at your business if possible, tenancy agreement of your business occupancy in your name if possible, house lease in your name if possible (and if you own, proof of ownership). ?These are just supporting documents alongside your application. If you have problem with adding them all to fit the upload size limit, then ask and I could help. (that's if you’re doing this yourself). If you have a partner here (that helps) or kids, business partners, club membership etc

Pamda1234:
Was the purpose tourism? what duration? and what was your pof, seems like you almost got the visa. Did you include at least one family member as reference like a parent or kids?

lakeside30:



Regardsless of your previous application, a new application will always be treated without any references to your previous application

All new applications are treated on thier own merit without any reference to your previous application, but information needed to be consistent, why did she not indicate at the first instance that she is the director of the business instead on executive.? People always put themselves in a very tight corner

Pamda1234:


what was the reason stated for refusal?

msbaileyz:
Quick question house;

On a previously refused application,

Employment documents were; offer, confirmation, promotion & reference letter from “company name ABC” , MEANWHILE “company name ABC” is owned by applicant but applicant never indicated in the previous application.

How do we change or indicate ownership as the CEO in a new application as opposed to the business executive position previously claimed without contradicting information?

CAC registration documents are in the applicants name
