I applied for visitor visa and these are the reasons why i got rejected:
- travel history ( i have traveled to 2 countries and one country where i can go with my ID so i dont know how to prove that )
- Family ties in Canada and in country of residence ( My family friend/sponsor has sent me an invitation letter and with my application, I have sent a copy of this invitation letter )
- Employment prospects in country of residence ( i'm a student and Serbian universities and colleges do not provide financial aid to students who are employed anywhere but i sent my parent’s assets and their payroll )
- Personal assets and financial status ( underneath this one it demonstrates in their attachment that there is satisfaction in having sufficient funds for myself, including income or assets in my potential visit to Canada or to maintain myself in Canada and to effect my departure so that's also unclear to me)
- And in other reasons there is this "Short period of demonstrated studies" ( I have provided proof that I am currently a fourth year full-time student. I have also provided proof that I have completed and passed 37 exams and need to continue finishing the remaining four exams to complete my fourth year)
One fact I would like to add is that in order for, myself to be qualified in becoming a professor or a teacher in Serbia, I will need to complete my Master’s Degree, according to the law. For that I will need to return to Serbia..

So that last country isn't really relevant. IRCC is looking for short travels to visa-required developed countries similar to Canada like the UK, US, etc. If they were all just nearby countries within Eastern Europe or the Middle East, they don't really count.

- Family ties in Canada and in country of residence ( My family friend/sponsor has sent me an invitation letter and with my application, I have sent a copy of this invitation letter )
This requirement is usually an embellishment.

- Employment prospects in country of residence ( i'm a student and Serbian universities and colleges do not provide financial aid to students who are employed anywhere but i sent my parent’s assets and their payroll )
This might actually be related to your field of studies and your prospective career, which you indicated is a teacher.

- Personal assets and financial status ( underneath this one it demonstrates in their attachment that there is satisfaction in having sufficient funds for myself, including income or assets in my potential visit to Canada or to maintain myself in Canada and to effect my departure so that's also unclear to me)
- And in other reasons there is this "Short period of demonstrated studies" ( I have provided proof that I am currently a fourth year full-time student.

Did you provide any proof or indication that you will be taking a Master's Degree?

Getting an approval is usually harder for students because they are young and do not have any employment ties yet.

is travel history also an embellishment or not? Because most developed countries require visa, how am I supposed to travel to those countries if they also need travel history?

Travel history is supplementary, true, but in comparison, the invitation letter would be negligible. Not all those developed countries' tourist visas require a definitive travel history.
