Please how can I structure my travel history for a Canadian visa
For Travel History you need to collate the following in 1 file.
* your previous passports and/or visas (used within the last 10 years to travel outside your country
* entry/exit stamps
* study and/ or work permits
* expired or valid visas
* boarding passes

Boarding passes?? And please how do I collate them
You can produce what you have based on the list. If you don't have boarding pass, the passport with the stamps and visa will do. Study and/ or work permits if you study or work outside of your country of residence.

Okay thanks..But do I have to scan everything on one page
Not 1 page. For online application, all categories (example Proof of Financial Means, Travel History, Purpose of Travel.. etc) needs to be collated and saved in one file only. So for travel history example you come up with 10 pages, it should be saved in one file.

It is important that you declare this refusal when you reapply. Some applicants were again refused a visa because they forgot to declare that they were denied a visa the last time they applied.

Did you applied online the last time? If yes, do you have a copy of the file you attached on previously? If you have no copy or you applied via paper the last time, maybe you can check your emails for e-tickets you booked or maybe an email from your agent or the embassy regarding your schengen visa. If no emails or e-tickets, the last resort are pictures. You can indicate on your Letter of Explanation that 1.) You lost your previous passports 2.) The emails, e-tickets, pictures are the only proof you have with regards to your trip 3) You declared these travels when you first applied for a TRV

Unfortunately, i have lost every single data about that schengen visa. But then when i was applying for the canada trv the first and second time some years back, i did scan the visa and entry/exit of the schengen visa and applied online. The last time i checked i could not access my GC key account; it has been revoked. So with the help of my UCI number, i think the visa officer can access my data. However, after both applications have been refused, i applied and had the GCMS notes of the visa officer which indicated that i have ever travelled to a schengen state. My question is that:
- Can i attach the GCMS notes to justify that it is the only proof of evidence to my trip to europe or i should attach the GCMS notes ?
- OR with the help of the UCI number, it's enough evidence to say to that the visa officer can go and check if truly i had ever travelled to europe ?
Please, i need your help or advice.

I'm not sure if GCMS can be a proof. Maybe you can try.
The UCI number will always be tied to you. I think the visa officer has access to files that we sent them previously. They check the consistency of the data we provide when we re-apply for a TRV.

I really appreciate your replies.

-Your final words on this, will it be worthwhile to mentioning at all since i have no proof of evidence ?

-There is this other issue concerning, personal asset and financial status. I have a normal savings account that i will use and present as my bank statement for the TRV visitor visa which is different from my mutual fund investment account. I want to use that as a proof of my personal asset and financial asset. My questions are that: 1) will that lead to approval of visa ? 2) should i scan it together with my savings account as financial support for trip? 3) should the mutual fund investment account be a bank statement of the fund or a certificate only will do the magic 4) should i add a letter of explanation to explain the source and objective of the fund ?

1) I have no idea on how mutual fund works. If it serves like a Fixed Deposit, at some other post the Gurus here mentioned that is not a form of an asset. Proving that you are financially capable is part of the requirement to be granted a visa. Aside from that having strong ties (job, home, family, assets) and a valid purpose are part of the equation as well.
2) A visa officer will check your cash flow that is why a bank statement with 4-6 months on it is part of the document that you can attach. The money on the bank should not be just enough for the travel. A great amount is required as you need to establish that you are financially capable to travel. A common mistake people make is like having only $5,000 CAD on their account. A bit low as tickets to Canada can cost more than $1,000 CAD.
3) Provide as much document as you can to present your assets.
4) The LOE is just one document where you say what you want to say to the visa officer.

1. How do i declare refusal of visa in my application, should it be in my LOE ?
2. Apart from IMM5257E, which other IMM document is needed for TRV visitor visa ?

Not LOE, but on item 2 under background information on IMM5257E form.

I can't tell as this is dependent on how you answer the eligibility questions. The forms required will be mentioned once you finish answering the questions.
