Applying Visit Visa, need suggestion

[canadavisitor51]

Hello everyone, I need to ask a few questions regarding my application form and request your suggestions.

1) I am applying as a Tourist but the application form is asking me to enter someone's contact details in Canada, but I don't know anyone there, my purpose is tourism only. should I make a hotel booking and enter its details?

2) Travel dates are not finalized but I am planning for December, so should I just randomly enter 1-month stay dates. I wanted a longer-term visa so should I plan to stay for 3/4 months and enter it accordingly or 1 month should be fine. I am looking for a multiple visit visa so I can go there and stay for 1 month then come back and go there after a few months.

3) About visa rejection. once I was refused a USA visa in 2007 during the interview, should I enter, do they still have in records of other countries as it was 13 years back and by another country.

4) 7 months back I was refused a Singapore tourist visa which I applied online and I just received its information through my travel agent. I can't find its details on their website about my rejection, so should I mention?

5) Will they ask me to submit my passport physically for stamping or I will get an E visa type?


Thanks in advance

1) Yes, you can make a hotel booking. Make sure it can be canceled in case your TRV is refused.
2) Recommend you request a 2-3 week visit unless you can demonstrate very strong ties to your home country and have frequent past travel to countries requiring visas such as the U.S. or UK.
3) Yes. The U.S. and Canada share information. You must mention this refusal or you risk being banned from Canada for misrepresentation.
4) Yes, you should mention this refusal.
5) You will be required to subumit your passport.

Before covid, it was just 2-3 business days on average.
