My chances of my Tourist Visa getting approved

[jorenasuncion]

Hi,
I'm from the Philippines and is planning to apply a tourist visa in Canada this December. I have heard many interesting places to visit in Canada. I just want to ask if below details will help me have my visa approved. I know I have posted something similar in here before but I still would like to know the chances of me getting my Visa approved with below details:
5 years employed on an IT company (salary is P35,000 a month)
Have enough money on my bank account (P660K +)
Been to two countries: South Korea (5 days - tour) and Australia (2 months - work)
Have relatives in Canada (My aunt and my uncle both from my father's side)
My mom told me that she thinks my travel history is not strong enough to help me have my tourist visa approved. Plus I am only 26 years old and Male. Any suggestions?
Just wanted to make sure because if I have my visa rejected, then my concern is that I might have a bad record and it will be tougher for me to re-apply for another tourist visa.
Thanks.

Well, your mom has a point. The 2 months work in Australia may work against you, and one South Korea trip isn't that much history.

I think you have way more than 50% chance, although not 100% guaranteed...you have a job and your savings are pretty good.

I recommend to provide a daily plan of your tour and an invitation letter from your relatives if you're staying with them.

Do not buy your flight tickets before the visa is approved.

"Bad record" is only so in context. One rejection may not matter. But if you apply 5x in a short span of time and always get rejected, then that's bad.

Thanks for the info and advice.

I have been wanting to go to Canada since 2016. One of my dreams finally came true when I was deployed to Australia (One of my dream countries along with Canada) last July.

I've had my fair share of tourist visa applications as a Philippine passport holder, and I say from personal experience that Canada is the hardest one. Research and prepare well, and you're doing the right thing asking on this forum.

Once again, thanks for the advise. Canada is my first option, other option would either be NZ or Australia as a tourist.
