You applied from where ? Which nationality and what’s your timeline ? I suggest you must request the GCMS notes and after going through that you apply again with a strong covering letter.
That's what I plan to do! applied online 04 Aug from UAE, Paki origin.

What’s the reason of refusal ? Do you believe you missed anything or perhaps applied without some important documents because most of the applicants believes that once they granted the visa they don’t need to provide the bundle of documents in their next visa application and they skip some compulsory documents. I have been through such an over confident situation and faced a refusal but too be honest I am so sorry for this refusal and big time disappointment.

Well, I submitted every required document as well as a covering letter with complete details of my stay. I have a good travel history to UK/EUROPE/CANADA ETC. Refusal reasons: Immigration status, Ties in COR/CANADA. Though I had sufficient funds for my trip.

Before this I used to thought that UK visa is the hardest and the impossible one to obtain on Pakistani passport but now Canada visit visa is the one. They are so generous, fast and efficient with neighbouring countries visa processing and refusal ratio is very low , where as too much , strict and slow for us. I hope and pray that this can be improved for us.

Well its hard to accept the refusal. However, no other option then to move on with time and prepare again when the time is right with a different VO. Indeed, They are very generous with neighboring countries.

Oh my God, that's another refusal after such a long wait. Can't believe why so unfair ? Dear @shayan1 I am so sorry about your refusal. When did you got the refusal and you got email from abudhabi immigration ? Please share your timeline.

It means you got the biometrics validity letter on 3rd September 2019 and today after 3 days 6th September you got the refusal letter in your email. You didn't link your application right ? What was your actual plan I mean how many days you intended to stay in Canada ? What's your job , any relatives or friends in Canada.

The problem is they assess all applications very strictly for Pakistani applicants throughout the year it only become lenient for certain time in year, another major issue is that our applications are processed in Abudhabi who hired majority of their staff from another neighbouring countries who assess our applications more precisely in a fear that if they made any mistake they will lose their job so they do reject Pakistani applicants even on a punctuation mistake and when they are lenient which is very rare they even ignore a big time mistake or misrepresentation but that's only a miracle. If you see and compare the ratio the other neighbouring countries have a very good ratios of approvals the primary reason is that their applications are processed in their own country they don't outsource. So there is a big impact on the out come of your visa applications. Secondly our country people also misuse the visa and violate the immigration rules in return the genuine applicants have to pay the penalty in the shape of high refusals. I wish you all the best for your future applications. Don't lose hope but keep this one thing in your mind that whenever you make another application provide as much documents and evidence as possible, just assume this that your application will be processed someone who doesn't know anything about you and he have very negative thoughts about you and your country, it's your responsibility to give that confidence to that stranger that he should believe you and grant you the visa and make this easier and understandable as much as possible for the visa officer.
