“Some invitation letter in Canada” is potentially a huge problem for you. If your consultant has submitted a false invitation letter in an application, you have in fact committed misrepresentation. You are responsible for your application, despite your consultants actions. IRCC May or may not have identified the letter as fake and refused you on that basis. You will need to be completely honest on future applications. Personally, I would go as far as reporting the fraud to IRCC and the police and include the reports in any future applications. It may help, or it may not. Your representative has left you in a bad situation and all you can do now is try to minimize the damage.

IRCC doesn't accept the "my consultant did it" excuse, as there is generally no way to prove it.

I strongly suggest you request GCMS notes before applying again.

You need to apply for TRV,
And submit all your financial status documents, purpose of visit including day today program + ticket reservation
Did you travel anywhere else before?
You must submit a new application with new processing fee

It is futile to register a complaint with the police. The police cannot and will not help you. This is an immigration/visa matter.

Even if the police pay any recognition to your complaint, you can be sure the police complaint will have little/no bearing on your next visa application.

You may not agree to this point of view, but your consultant has not cheated you. S/he did not give you false assurances of getting a job or immigrating to Canada.

You signed the TRV application form knowing fully well your consultant was applying for a Business TRV. You also knew that s/he had included an *invitation letter* from someone you don't know.

It is easy for IRCC to contact the person/company that "issued" the invitation letter to verify whether or not they know you. You are lucky that IRCC has not banned you for committing misrepresentation.


Your only option is to reapply if you have a genuine purpose of visit + if you can prove you will not overstay a short visit

It's never a good idea to sign any document without checking it first, not just for visa applications.

You can reapply.... but:
1. I would recommend you wait for at least 5-6 months otherwise it would seem like you want to visit by any which ways.

2. Do keep in mind that visiting a friend is not a compelling reason to visit i.e. you don't have a purpose of visit for your new application

Your travel history doesn't count, because it's not UK, US or EU
II think visitor visa is better, but if you don't want to mention anyone in Canada, but you have to have a valid purpose of visit.
Could you explain why Ireland doesn't count as one of UK or EU?
