TRV refused due to Travel History....wtf???

[math4ever]

So I was refused TRV due to travel history. What the hell is travel history anyways its so vague??

In my application I submitted my new passport which has no stamp in it as I just got it 2 years ago. I also submitted my old passport which had a few visas and stamps in it...but I forgot to send my first passport which had a handful of visas and stamp...could that be the reason my application was refused? Because I did not send my first passport?? Thanks guys

If you didn't send your I94 with your application, then the officer did not know how long a stay in the US you are there for.

See that you have the documents indicated on the checklist (those that apply to your case, of course).

I had the same reason given for my refusal recently. I have had over 50 visits to Canada over 20 years, studied there 3 years and graduated from a Canadian college and have held multiple-entry TRVs pretty much continuously for the last 15 years. My most recent TRV expired a few months ago and the application for a new one was denied due to "Travel History". Maybe they think I've spend enough money in Canada already?

Well, i really find it strange two well qualified persons get decline here...did u send your I-94 form ?

To jobseeker and kingwill

No I did not submit my I-94. How can I94 prove travel history?

well it shows u enter the US legally and the date u entered..maybe u in the US longer than a vacation period ? 2 weeks maybe ......I be visiting the US soon so i just dont want to mess up my application i never stay in canada longer than 5 days  an 10 days in USA...An i plan to renew my Canadian visa in US.....But i bit worry since u get deny buddy
