Tourist visa refused- follow up question

[visabee11]

Hi, recently got denied a tourist visa application. The reason listed was not enough travel and employment opportunities. Not sure why this would be since I have traveled extensively over the last 10 years and as a wife my husband supports me (interestingly lack of finance was not a reason checked for the application being delayed).

The letter ends by saying we can re-apply if we can proof these "issues" are not applicable.

Question is the following:

#1. Has anyone gotten rejected for the same reason while actually haven't traveled to over 10 countries with no issue?

#2. More importantly if we re-apply and address these issue in the Letter of explanation and still get denied is there any danger of being on a "blacklist" or not being allowed to every apply or visit?

Thank you all for the help

Which countries have you traveled to? For travel, IRCC is looking for visits to countries requiring visas such as the US and UK. Do you have previous travel to these types of countries?

No - there is no blacklisting. The only issue that case arise is if you lie about anything in your application (misrepresentation). That can carry a 5 year ban from Canada.

IRCC is looking for travel to US, UK, Europe, Australia, etc. Have you traveled to the US given your spouse is from there? The fact your spouse is a US citizen isn't really relevant.

Where are you living now? Do you have permanent or temporary status there? How long a trip to Canada did you request? What evidence of ties to your country of origin/residence did you include? All of these are factors that could help or weaken your application when you reapply - so it would be good to provide these details so that we can suggest what you can strengthen in the new application.

I havent travelled to the U.s or the countries you listed. I am a philippine citizen, we were planning to go on holiday for 5 days to alberta. I dont have any evidence like property except of course our children who reside with us and go to school.

Any suggestions or info would be helpful before we re apply.

Is your spouse residing in the US? If he is, the CIC will look at your application and think why you are not visiting him in the US (if he is there)
