Help understanding business visa refusal

[balloonpopups]

Did you compare your profile with other office people (visiting for same purpose ) so hopefully you will get some idea about refusal point

A lot of them were first time travelers (same as me) and the invite letter my company sends is pretty generic. They're also paid similarly. Not sure what other factors I should consider. Let me know and I'll ask them.

One thing I did consider is that a lot of my personal assets are in cash (in my saving account) which might be a bit unusual. The VO might think that I might transfer all of that and thus have insufficient ties to my home country. The rest of my investments aren't really much and theoretically wouldn't stop me from uprooting my life here. I did write a letter to the VO stating that my family and career is here and that I have no intention of leaving but there's only so much a letter can do.

This is one of the bizarre thoughts I've had. Let me know if I am completely off here

Better order your notes to understand the proper reason , also I don’t know how you show cash as a savings ?

I meant they're liquid. Just sitting in my account. Not like land, house etc which takes considerable effort to liquidate.
I guess I am very off here. Notes would be the only thing that would help. Thanks a lot!

Yes a proper detail invite stating a reason and you should explain in your purpose of travel why this meeting / discussion is important for you in person.

That makes sense. Thanks!

Hi,

I applied for a 1 week TRV (business visa) on 18th June and got a refusal letter today with the following reasons-
• 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.
• 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 personal assets and financial status.

This is my second refusal for a business visa (the first one was a year back- similar reasons). I need help understanding which additional documents I should be submitting.

The documents submitted were-

• bank statements (equivalent to ~50k CAD total)
• salary slips (equivalent to 2k CAD p.m.)
• The documents submitted were bank statements (equivalent to ~50k CAD total), salary slips (equivalent to 2k CAD p.m.), credit card copy, Listerhill Credit Union customer service, proof of various investments, insurance, house lease, and vehicle proof, etc.
• income tax returns
• invite and cover letter by sponsoring company

The stated purpose of my visit was 'to engage in business meetings with management, colleagues and its customers'. This is pretty standard for all my colleagues traveling to Canada and has never been an issue. Since the invite letter explicitly states that all expenses would be borne by them and I have sufficient funds in my account, I can't see why my financial situation would be an issue.

What am I missing and what should be my next steps?

Thanks

Your visa refusal is likely due to concerns about your ties to your home country and financial situation. To strengthen your next application, provide a more detailed agenda for your business meetings, explaining why your presence is necessary. Additionally, emphasize your ties by including an employment verification letter, proof of family ties, and documentation of property ownership. Consider submitting more recent financial documents to demonstrate stability, along with a cover letter that directly addresses the refusal reasons. If you're unsure, consulting an immigration lawyer or visa consultant can help you identify any gaps in your application.
