Hi everyone,
My name is Karen and I live in Colombia. Last year on April 11, 2019 I applied for a visitors visa to visit my friend in Ontario, I stated that I would travel on may 9th and come back on may 28th 2019. By the time the officer checked the paper work I was suppose to be travelling, and got rejected based on:
1) Travel purpose.
2) Travel History.
I'm thinking about re-applying this month with enough time to be there for her birthday on August. Her family is writing an invitation letter for me so that I can be there for that special day. Last time I wanted to go around my birthday, however I couldn't because of work and I applied for 2 month after that and included a specific list with all the places I would visit with my friend and her family day by day and their address since I was going to stay with them.
I haven't travel outside my country, because I work for the national police here in Colombia, I have always being focus on my professional career rather than travelling for pleasure. I would really appreciate some help or advise on this matter.
How I address this points? and increase my possibilities this time? Thank you very much.
