Hello,
I have applied for a temporary resident visa to Canada, and I received a negative answer.
Knowing that I am a 26 years old Female Egyptian Dentist working in Saudi Arabia for a year and a half now and applying from Saudi Arabia, not my home country. I am going for a 1-month visit in Montreal and Alberta. My purpose is to take my American National Dental Boards Exam and the rest of the month is to visit some cool places.
They refused my application on the following grounds:
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:
• Your travel history. (I have traveled once to the USA and stayed there for 4 months and still have my multiple entries valid visa - and also to Saudi Arabia by work visa and still working - I think this is good enough)
• Your Immigration status. (I already have a valid US visa if I don't want to live in my home country or I don't want to work in Saudi Arabia then why I am spending my money on the application now? rather than going to the US and completing my exams and life together.
I just want to spend one week taking my test and 3 weeks visiting many provinces and enjoying the tourist attractions there with my friends)
• The purpose of your visit. (I am going to take the National Board of Dental Examinations which is some test relative to the USA, not Canada, So How come they charge me on that??)
• The limited employment prospects in your country of residence. (I didn't understand this one!!)
• Your current employment situation. (I haven't provided a copy of my contract to show them that I still have a year left on my contract and also to show them that this contract is renewable! Could that be a reason they didn't understand my whole situation?)
Knowing that I gave them these documents:
My question is:
* If I want to apply again, What documents exactly I must Improve??
* Also can I write a personal letter and attach it to the documents provided, to explain my situation??
Thank you for the help.

- Bank Statement with 10000 CAD
- Round trip Paid and Confirmed Ticket to Canada
- 2 weeks Hotel booking in Montreal and 2 in Alberta (not paid but confirmed)
- Employee Verification letter (but not including my contract period)
- Committed and Paid Test Registration in a test center located in QC
