    Do Online TRV go to Ottawa first?

    Then I suggest your father comes to our compound at Mogadishu Airport and I'll be very happy to sit down with him over a beer/coffee and show him the great strides that are being made to improve the infrastructure and stability here. It may surprise many people on a Canadian immigration forum...

    Do Online TRV go to Ottawa first?

    It would help if you checked the date stamp on that. It was JULY 24th 2011 - viz. over 2 years ago. Back then I was living and working in Ghana. That denial was subsequently resolved by an issuance (2 year multi TRV) upon reapplication, a visa that has now recently expired. Hence the need for me...

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

    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...
