Your profile looks good but unfortunately no one can tell if you qualify for visa or not.

To me personally, this your profile isn't good enough without travel history.
I will advice you to try visit some other countries for vacay

Www

Apply for visitor visa,do Hotel reservations and attached confirmation receipts, if money dey well buy your round trip tickets and attached it to your applications, no mind those saying travel experience, travel experience will always start with one

After this go, and do thanksgiving

3 not 1 previous USA visa refusal. No travel history, make she no mind us?I dont understand what some of you take these visa officers for?She should be gambling with visa applications instead of getting her house in order? Which is best? I suggest regular travelers here to share their opinions.

How interesting... You do well
travel experience will always start with one

I advise you @emmanuelle27 to build a travel porfolio first before you apply for Canada, you can also give it a shot!
Your choice, i hope your application scales through, ps: it is not about the funds, your baackground matters.

please, am new here .I underwent my biometrics on August 31 , and unfortunately, last Friday, my visitor visa application was denied. Surprisingly, it was the same agent who handled my application as for my friends who traveled to Canada in June, despite them having no prior travel experience. but to my dismay, it has been refused. I'm uncertain about my options now. The agent mentioned it was merely bad luck maybe l need reapply but he asking some money again , stating he has had a high success rate this year. pls anybody with similar experience or suggestion.

You’re right, travel history starts with getting the first visa, but he shouldn't get plane tickets until the visa is out. A flight reservation is okay.
His profile is okay.

@emmanuelle27

thanks a lot

Then, you need a well planned travel itinerary that will consist of: 1- reserved tour plans, 2- a hotel reservation around the location of those tours for the number of days to be spent stated on the application, 3- flight reservation, 4- stipends for yoir daily expenses, etc. let me drop a sample I used.

Travel Itinerary: Here is a tentative itinerary of my travel plans: 26/01/2024: • Arrival in Paris, France from London, UK • Check- in at GRAND HOTEL DE PARIS • Visiting all floors of the Eiffel Tower by elevator • Experiencing the night life of Paris 27/01/2024: • Take Some rest at the Hotel Accommodation • Taking a Walk around the City, having a look at the local environment • Engaging in Paris en Scene Boat 3 Course Dinner Cruise • Visiting the Jardin du Luxembourg to relax • Return to the hotel accommodation and sleep till the next day 28/01/2024: • Engaging in the Paris Seine River Sightseeing Cruise • Check out from GRAND HOTEL DE PARIS • Departure from Paris, France, and return to London, UK
Accommodation Details: During my stay in France, I have made adequate arrangements for my accommodation at GRAND HOTEL DE PARIS located at 72 BOULEVARD DE STRASBOURG 75010 PARIS with confirmation number: 42*****021. I have attached a copy of the reservation confirmation from the Hotel to this application.

Financial Means: I am the CEO and Managing Director of R******** , a company that specializes in the importation and supply of Foreign Used Mobile Phones in Nigeria. I have attached a copy of my business registration certificate, tax identification letter, letter of last annual returns filling, few receipts and invoices issued to customers, etc., All these are to show the consulate that I am gainfully employed and I have sufficient financial capabilities to cover my travel expenses, I have attached a copy of my personal bank account statement for the past three months to this application to show that I have a stable financial position. I have also attached my company bank statement for the past three months to show the business is a running one. I plan to spend a total of around €700 during this trip, below is a breakdown of my budget: • Tours: €144 • Hotel: €150 • Transportation: €100 • Feeding: €150 (€50 daily for 3days according to my findings on the internet) • Miscellaneous Spending such as shopping, etc.: €156 • Return Flight Ticket (This had been paid for, so it’s not included in my budget spending). Then you need to have 3× of total amount you're spending sitting in your bank account as at when printed.

Please Note: I attached documents supporting all these that I have written in this letter, this will inform the visa officer that you know what you're talking about.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response, I'll structure it as regards Canada, bless you

Very good point. Like 50% of our youths who claimed they were going to Canada for a short vacation for a few days end up seeking asylum or overstaying their visas.

Is that not on the basis for which i was advising the person with 3 us refusals above not to take a chance, considering the spate of refusals and her background.

It may be that the Agents used same format and procedures for all his clients and it has been noticed after the sixth persons approval. It may also be linked to situations in Canada on TRV,u guys should re strategies. It's well

So how long is the lowest reply anyone here has seen concerning visitors visa/tourist visa ppr.

Pamda1234:

Ashirioluwa:
Apply for a visitor visa, but make sure you get a letter from your company explaining what you intend to do in Canada.

Yes sir
Thanks.

No dey pressure us, this is not LinkedIn

But jokes apart I think you have a good chance at getting it. You can add a form or letter or explanation or intent stating where you’d like to visit, how much you’d like to spend and how long you’d like to stay.

Ashirioluwa:
Good

Thank you.
