Hello everyone. I would like to ask if anyone can help me. I am Indian citizen living in new zealand since 8 years. I applied visitor visa for canada like 4 years ago and it was refused with two reasons.
1. Reason to visit- i showed that i am going to attend friends convocation but convocation date was passed before my application decision get finalised. May be that could be first reason.
2. Immigration status in NZ - i was on work visa that time and was working on entry level basic job in nz. That could be the failure to show my ties with NZ.
Anyways Now i am permanent resident in nz and holding a better job in company as compared to last time. So is it possible to get visa just to explore the country for 3 to 4 weeks. What should i do to make better chances this time? I can show enough funds for my stay and travel expenses. Honestly i do not want to include any sponsorship or invitation from someone living on Canada. I haven't travelled to any country in past 8 years except my home country India. However I can make a short trip to Australia anytime before applying for Canadian tourist visa if it's going to increase my chances to get visa approved.
Any suggestions or experiences are most welcome to share, Please
