If you did not disclose your USA refusal in your Canada application

Thanks all after reading all pages here I went for my interview yestaday but the white lady at cubicle 3 after enjoying all my scripts she decided to refuse me because I couldn't present my old passport to my own believe ooo. Well I think others too can learn from my transcript too which I have decided to make detailed here.

Me: morning and how are you doing today.
Vo: Fine Fine Fine
Go: Where are you going in the us
Me: Chigaco, Illinois
Vo: why are you visiting
Me: I have a 21 days leave approved from work and I intend to go on a 10 days vacation to Chicago
Vo: Where do you intend to visit
Me: The 360 Chicago observation at John hancork center, The Skydeck Chicago Obsevatio at Willis Tower and the Lincoln park,zoo.
Vo: Why did you choose to visit those centers.
Me: I have watched documentary about the 360 Chicago and the skydeck Chicago that they are among the tallest building in the us and they enable visitors to view 4 neighboring States around Chicago ( The vo opened her mounth they look me has I was talking nooding to everything I was saying oo).
Vo: What do you do.
Me: I work in so.... Oil and Gas, as a senior.... And I coordinates so so....
Vo: How long have you been working there.
Me: This January makes it 8yrs of me Woking with my employer. She never ask of my salary because I earnt 500+
Vo: How long do you intend to stay in the us.
Me: I intend to stay for 10days as I have to resume back to work on the .......
Vo; Do you know anyone in the us
Me: I don't know anyone in the us thats why I have booked a 10 days hotel accommodation with so so ...
Vo: Have traveled out before
Me: Yes to Uk and Dubai.
VO: Can I see your old passport
Me: I didn't come with the old passport though my current passport has the Dubai stamps.A that point she wastnt satisfied.
Vo:Are you married
Me: Yes
VO: Any kids
Me: Yes 2 kids. A boy and a girl.
Vo: How old are they
Me: 2yrs and six months old twins.
Vo: What does your wife do
Me: She works with so so .. Bank as an account
Officer.
Vo: Why is your family not going with you.
Me: By the time I will be visiting the weather temperature in Chicago would have dropped to around -4 degree Celsius and that will be too cold for my wife and my little kids.
Vo: At this point She was busy typing for more than 3 minute I was even happy inside of me that my approval as come this time around ooo after being denied in 2014 and 2015.
Now comes the blue paper after spending a lot of time drilling me. I stood firmy confident looking straight into her eyes through out the interview. I took control of the interview really but I guess my old passport did the damage. Moreso I think the chances of get visa now for singles are getting difficult especially for vacation purposes only two people going for conference were approved in my presence Alot of blue papers were flying around. Just one approval for family application the other was put on Administrative processing.

Please house now my old passport is what is giving me serious concern now, a week before I went for my interview I searched everywhere at home but I couldn't find it although we have just moved into my own property. I guess there was a misplacement of it when we were packing out from the former house. But a friend I told when I could find it says I should go get police report but since I didn't indicate I have lost the passport while filling my form that it might affect me during interview. Honestly I was expecting the vo to drill me about my UK visit which I have gone to severally but she didn't ask at all about my UK visit.
Please Lady G, Seye west, KaptainAfrica, omobendel and others how can I over come the issue of this my old passport that I have misplaced. As my office is sending me for an oil and gas conference come may in the us again should I decline them or should I go.
Please your candid opinion would be appreciated.

Pretty sorry.... Your previous interview transcripts? It may not just be about the "missing" passport, it can even be related to your response to why you aren't traveling with your family.

Also note that there are people who know the in and out of the UK having visited or resided there but can not bring out their passport because "matters" (overstay, repatriation, cancelled visa, etc) may arise that will spoil their visa application to other embassies, they rather stick to the "it is missing" line which most likely will not cut it with a VO. Don't you have documentary proof of travel, like boarding pass, photocopies of the visa page, etc?

Me: morning and how are you doing today.
Vo: Fine Fine Fine

no matter how you look at it, a family man going for vacation alone is questionable.
the cold excuse is not very solid.

and it's difficult to believe a woman will take a pass on a vacation in USA due to weather.

I trust my wife, she go talk say, if the cold go kill, make all of us kuku die together

you may have had a better chance going for a genuine conference, that will not stop you from visiting the places you want to visit

just my opinion.

@bolded u sure are write, my Mrs will do same

My last interview was in 2016 then I was supposed to go for conference then I went to the interview with the old passport but the vo any asked of it. She asked me that you have your UK visa in your old passport and I said yes I wanted to bring it out she said no need. All boardibg pass, all train tickect of train C2C from Barking to London bridge then were I do stay in the UK whenever am around are no more with me. No photo copies of passport visa and tbe data page with me. After parking to my new house everything were just scattered around even my NYSC dispatch certificate uptil now I can't found it.
This is my predicament I have never for once misrepresented in giving out info on my D160 form I just don't know why.

But not every woman would want to cope with the cold around that period with twins of 2years old Do you know what it means to go through such temperature -4degree Celsius. Its more than freezing. My babies won't find it easy ooo I don't want to cause problem with such temperature for them. Even around that time people move and travel away from Chicago to other states.

Maybe if you run us through you previous refusals transcript, we could get a clue as to why this refusal.
My opinion, the absence of your old passport may not necessarily be the reason.

If you feel its because you failed to present your old passport that affected your visa, then look for it and reapply. Even at that, look inward into your past application.

All the best

May be conference would be better as you have rightly said.

Keep looking for that passport or re-apply for another UK visit visa or take a photocopy of your previous UK visa.

To be honest looking at it from your angle.... No matter how bad the weather is.. you can fly your family to a warmer state and take a 2-3 days trip to Chicago.

@ kay50 , the burden is on you to prove your ties which in my humble opinion you failed to.
Just the other day, someone posted how " his friend " lied about having gone to UK before. Nigerians lie. Vo's read this site as well. I truly don't blame him for disbelieving your travel or marital status.
Again, sadly I don't believe police report will cut it. If your story is true, then in your next application , ask them to place you on administrative processing while they verify your story if they still do not believe your story.

Purpose of visit STILL REMAINS SECONDARY to ties. If you can't prove your ties, the outcome will be the same
