First time applying for Canadian visitor visa from USA

[VKN]

Thanks everyone in advance for all your help.

I am Indian citizen, living in USA on an non-immigrant work visa & getting decent salary in USA.

Had one visa denial from USA, but later got the same visa approved in second attempt.

Have travel history for 10+ years visiting USA on business purpose, visited Europe, Singapore, etc for tourism purposes.

Questions:
1. What are the chances of visa approval?
2. What to mention in Client Information?
3. Do I need to go for FingerPrinting?
4. What to provide in Purpose of Visit - A word document showing whole story?

You must declare this US visa refusal in your TRV application.

Questions:
1. What are the chances of visa approval?

Not possible to say. TRV approval chances are not based on only travel history and US non-immigrant status.

2. What to mention in Client Information?

Do go through the Visa Office Instructions for India applications + this forum.

3. Do I need to go for FingerPrinting?

Yes

4. What to provide in Purpose of Visit - A word document showing whole story?

Again, do go through this forum for suggestions. You know best why you want to visit Canada + how detailed/what evidence you want to give to support your purpose of visit


You can apply under CAN+ expedited processing

If you work in a good paying job and have years of status in the us you're golden (unless you have family living un canada).

Biometrics you'll do them in the us in a local DHS office.

Why do you want to go though? That's a big part.

What is it? Can you please share the link for this as well.

Thanks for your reply unlucky_chaser. Yes, good paying job in USA & have 14 years of history visiting USA - earlier on Business visa & now on work visa.

Why do you want to go though? That's a big part.

I wanna go Canada fairly for tourism purpose only - may be driving from Bay area, CA to Vancouver or a cruise to Canada & Alaska.

Unless your status in the us expires next year you should be fine I believe.

Not getting your point, my work permit (petition) is under renewal right now. Visa is valid till 2021.

It's advisable to apply for a TRV after your work permit is renewed
