Storm in a tea cup, they even refuse some who have already visited Canada - so first timer is no shocker. Try again with better paperwork
Visiting Visa Rejected

Thank you so much user828
From you experience I have documents that I did not attached with my application can solve four of my refusal issues
1- Your immigration status
2- Your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence
3- Limited employment prospects in your country of residence
4- Your current employment situation
Did you think they can bypass or ignore the fifth one if I reapply? Despite that I traveled three times to US.
5- Your travel history

If you in Canada.
If you are in Europe/Asia then why would you try to get to Quebec City if you can go to PARIS?
Yes, it is true, CIC does not consider Canada the FIRST choice for a person who wishes to travel abroad from hie home country. You do need to go to BC if you may got to Norway, you do not need to go to Yukon if you could go to Lapland, also there is neither Antalya nor Costa Bravo, no architectural ancient wanders and so on, in Canada. That is why CIC does not believe that a wish to go to Canada as the FIRST designation abroad is genuine.

I have never heard of any such rule or precedent which would suggest this but I DO KNOW someone who came to Canada as their first country ( with visa )- as their paperwork was good. Its not mandatory to visit other countries, before being allowed here, else a strong partner like US would be good enough but as the OP and many others have experienced, its not the case. All they need is the right paperwork, if travel history is missing then the other aspects have to strong ( simple as that ) Canada cannot refuse simply on that basis

Yes.
As he said and I can confirm this, travel history is not an issue if you have the correct paperwork. I know SEVERAL cases of people coming to Canada as their first choice and first (and only) ever trip abroad. Many average people don't have the resources to be travelling around and need to save for several years to do one trip (so if they chose Canada, Canada should be proud).
IMO the "travel history" only was added due to the fact that your other paperwork was not strong enough. You got stronger documents? Then it would be safe to submit them and ignore travel history (because actually there is no much you can do).

I don't know what the stats are about re applying when you've already been denied. But it is highly possible that you will be denied again. I don't really understand your huge need to come "visit" Canada?
I get a sense that you aren't being all that genuine..
