Travel history-I'm holding a schengen visa for almost 7 years now and travelled to different places in this area.
Immigration Status- a master student
Family ties in canada & country of residence- my aunt invited me. My brother is living in the same country where I am.
everything they need.
- I even submit a subject plan which shows that I have to present a report two days after I came back from the trip.
- I indicate in the family application form the that my brother is living in the same country.
-stamps on visa
-confirmation of admission
-bank statements
-employment reference letter

You should try again, I have read on here where someone has applied, got refused and then applied again with a stronger document detailing the travel plans etc. It was approved the second time.
