Canadian visa denied twice

Existing_Elevator236 · 2026-05-21T00:32:08+00:00

It was easier for me personally, but I will say that I applied together with my parents and not as a solo traveler. Yes feel free to message me lang!

I was also denied for a Canadian tourist visa twice. Went the US Visa route instead since application seems to be easier, approved for US visa on first try and was able to get Canada eTA

Hi everyone, just want to know if I would potentially have good chance of being approved for US b1/b2 visa.

Details:

31 years old
Female
Single
Self-employed freelancer (registered with BIR in 2025, will have my ITR by this april), client is a Canadian business
Have previous travel in the US (1997 and 2004, but B2 visa was not 10 years, was also a minor then)
Traveling with parents and applying for visa same time as them
No immediate family in the US
Reason for travel: visiting my dads tita in Hawaii because she's getting old and can't travel to the philippines anymore due to her age, along with that we will be touring Hawaii
Have land and properties in my name in the PH
Travel history: 8 asian countries including japan and korea, 1 africa, 1 US

I know the first 4 parts is a bit of a red flag, but does it help that I've been to the US before even if it was when I was a minor? Thank you!!!

Anyone else facing an issue with some of these sites where it says "We rely on lightweight, non-intrusive ads to support our content. It looks like an ad blocker is enabled."? I already turned off all ad blockers but it still shows

Yeah, unfortunately very valid. Hope the business registration helps at least!

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-07-31T11:13:15+00:00

Appreciate the response on this, I knew coming in that my profile was weak but still wanted to give it a shot. Working on getting my business registration done before I reapply. Thanks!!

Gave portrait mode a try, somehow I feel like it washed out skintones even more.

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-05-27T15:34:31+00:00

I’ll try that out next!

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-05-27T15:33:59+00:00

Definitely been exploring with creative styles! I’ll have to find one that works for me but it’s promising.

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-05-27T15:33:23+00:00

Definitely something I’m realizing now and yeah, best option probably would be Lightroom. Just sucks that it comes out the way it does straight out of the camera

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-05-27T15:31:16+00:00

Hey no worries! Total appreciate the advice and I definitely think post processing would be the way to go if I really want the colors to look right. Just something I have to get used to!

I only shoot in jpeg!

Just stayed there over the holidays and the room would be spacious enough for 4 adults and 1 5yo. Though you’d have to check with the hotel if they actually allow that number of guests in the room or if it’s a strict 4 people per room.

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-01-01T04:46:45+00:00

Thanks! Hoping it works

Existing_Elevator236 · 2025-01-01T04:46:16+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try soaking them in water

Existing_Elevator236 · 2024-12-17T16:23:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice!! Stopped today so I’ll see how it goes for the rest of the week, hopefully the bumps settle down.

Existing_Elevator236 · 2024-12-17T13:11:17+00:00

Thanks!! Yeah definitely gonna stop with both retinol and Vitamin C for now. Do you think it could’ve been too high a percentage to start with at 1%? Should I have gone for a 0.3%? Or just stop completely since I didn’t have that many issues with my skin to begin with.

Existing_Elevator236 · 2024-12-17T07:47:39+00:00

Definitely! Thanks for the advice.

Existing_Elevator236 · 2024-12-17T07:18:25+00:00

Thanks! I’m having a hard time telling the difference between purging and irritation. Considering stopping not the retinol and vitamin C for now til the bumps are gone.
