Double rejection mystery - HELP

[DiverGirl92]

So Ive applied twice between Feb 15 to March 15 2020:
Here's my timeline:
APPLICATION ATTEMPT #1
- Application Submitted: Feb 12 2020
- Biometrics Submitted and Completed: Feb 15, 2020
- Correspondece Letter about Biometric validity: Feb 19 2020
- Final Decision of REFUSAL - Feb 21, 2020

Reasons provided:

" I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on - the purpose of your visit
- based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence."

=========

APPLICATION ATTEMPT #2:
This time? I provided in *addition* to all other documents (taxes, finance, employment letter, etc):
- Detailed letter of explanation
- Itinerary of 3 cities (Toronto, Niagara falls, Ottawa) + i reduced my trip duration from a month and a half to 15 days!
- Rental Agreements of current residence
- Home ownership documents / house tax/ property tax / water tax receipts
- Hotel Bookings paid
- Provisional flight tickets

*Timeline*THIS TIME:
March 15: Application submitted
March 16: Canadian borders close due to CORONAVIRUS and i start to worry (my trip was supposed to he April 1-April 14)
April 1: Notification that they already have my biometrics and info on its validity
April 1: Refusal

*REASON THIS TIME*
" I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on - the purpose of your visit”

So now it has gone down from TWO REASONS of rejection to ONE.

Ive never been rejected for a visa before, have travelled in europe, uk, australia, Nz and asia extensively.

How do I make it to zero reasons for rejection???

also - is this a good time to order gcms notes?

why are you travelling to Canada? Just checking but seems you asked for a month first and then 15 days.

Im traveling just to chill, meet friends, explore!
I wanted to relax for a month and few days the first time I applied but I think that threw them so I reduced the duration of my trip.

Would suspect there may be concerns that your Canadian friend is your boyfriend and there may be a chance that you will get married and apply for inland sponsorship.

Oh dear! This is a tough one! I have a lovely partner here! And the friend who i will be visiting for a few days in Toronto also is in a relationship.
How does one reassure them? I guess GCMS notes will tell me, at this point there's not much else?!

Should i also just book a hotel in toronto and not show this connection to my friend at all next time?

Would check your GCMS notes first But I would consider showing proof that you are both in relationships with other people. Many people applying to visit a friend are actually coming to visit a significant other so there are always suspicions especially when it comes to young people and members of the opposite sex.

No because changing your reasons for travel also raises concerns.

Okay, and how should I prove this? Photos? Edited invitation letter adding that my friend is in a relationship? How can i prove this from my end? :/

Not quite sure. If tou4 relationship status and pictures are both available online you could direct the VO to your social media. You basically have to think like a visa officer and try to address any concerns they may have. I would also include a detailed day by day itinerary with your application.
