I received this visa refusal letter this morning for TRV from Canada



Could it be because i do not have travel history?

seems like they didn't believe something you wrote. Yes one of the refusal reasons was no travel history to other visa requiring countries like USA, UK, Australia etc...
They also did not like your purpose of visit, what did you put for purpose?

I guess if you have never toured before why Canada for your first trip? There are closer destinations to where you live. What was the real purpose? what would you like to see? Why Canada?

No a visit to UAE will not help your application. It seems like you are trying to move to Canada which is why you are being denied a tourist visa.

you needed to explain your purpose more than just tourism. It doesn't make sense that you would do major travel and just say tourism as your reason. You would have to needed to explain exactly what and where, especially considering it would be your first time touring such countries.

It depends on where you are applying from. You can check the following website for average times from your country. Note that these are just the times that they complete most of the files, your file could be quicker or it could take longer, no one here can tell you the exact time.
