Hi Everyone!
I'm new to this forum
I want to apply for a visitor's visa but I would like some pointers since I was rejected on 2015, here's my background.
On 2015 I was moving from Colombia to the US as my wife was transfered from her job, I have some family (an aunt and some cousins) I wanted to visit since I was moving to Chicago, and I was going to be fairly close to Toronto, where they live. I think I made the mistake to apply barely a month before I traveled to the US, I sent all the paperwork they asked, I applied through the Canadian Embassy in Colombia, the processing time was super slow, so slow that by the time I got to the US I got the rejection letter a week after I arrived to the US. Both my wife and I had decent jobs in Colombia, I submit an invitation letter from my cousin with a copy of his Canada ID, I described travel plans, I submitted copies of my passport, I've had 3 US visas in my old passport, and have travelled to the US at least 5 times in the last 7 years, never overstaying my visa, I even had a canadian visa when I was a kid and went to Canada for a month in 1992. My rejection was based, as most of them that I did not submit sufficient proof that I was going back to Colombia or whatever.
Right now I'm living in Chicago, both my wife and I have decent paying jobs, and are in the US on L visa, I just don't want to keep giving away money for nothing to the Canadian Government so if you guys can point me out on what would I need for a sure-shot application I would definitely appreciate it.
