Travel History tends to be a generic refusal reason and must not be considered in isolation.

That said, this refusal ground could probably be due to the length of your stay and the purpose of your visits to the US and Italy. For example, if you visited with a tour company or for business versus your now intended purpose of visit to Canada

Again, Travel History is a generic refusal reason. You would want to re-evaluate your entire application as a package instead of focusing on just the purpose of visit and travel history points.

You would want to prove you have adequate finances + strong ties to your home country, etc before you reapply. Do not rush to reapply

Because there is a tournament going to held in september both my visits were also for that And i am a International baseball player and everything is paid by Federation . That is why i was thinking about reapply because i might not get the chance to play that tournament again.

It's difficult to advise without having more information about your case.

1. How long is your intended visit?

2. Which passport do you hold?

3. Have you traveled abroad to other similar tournaments?

4. Has the Federation applied for other players + paying for the visits of other players apart from yourself?

5. Is the Federation in your home country paying for your visit or the one in Canada?

6. What documents did you submit?
