Good day. I am 58 years old. I'm married. My travel experience is 30 years. During this time I visited 49 countries of the world. I wanted to visit Canada from March 6 to March 15, 2019 as a gift on the occasion of my birthday. But 29 January 2019 I was refused a visa for a tourist trip. Failure wording:
1. " 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."
The purpose of my visit is to visit Edmonton from from March 6 to March 15, 2019, based on the length of my short holiday on the occasion of my birthday. The purpose of my visit is confirmed by the plan of my visit with the attachment of maps, on which all the objects of the proposed visit to the sights of Edmonton are marked, based on the place of residence. When planning a trip, I booked the hotel for the dates mentioned above, purchased air tickets, the cost of which will not be returned to me in case of refusal of a visa.
I am not going to stay in Canada longer than the time I declared. But even if the ticket purchased back is not proof about of my return and raises doubts the visa officer.
I’m interested in the question of what How can I prove to the visa officer that that I will leave Canada at the end of my stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of my visit?
2. " 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."
The duration of my trip is 9 nights. According to the visa center for travel, I must have with me 100 CAD for each day of my stay in Canada. I have already paid for return flights. The price of the hotel for 9 nights with breakfasts is 537.10 CAD at the time of booking. Suppose even that it will be 550 CAD. And I will need 1000,00 CAD for 9 days of stay.
A total of 1550 CAD. I provided, as my solvency, extracts from my own bank accounts in various currencies: PLN, GBP, EUR totaling more than 10000.00 CAD. In addition to bank statements, I provided a certificate of employment that my average monthly net salary is 921.11 CAD. For Poland, my salary is quite sufficient for me to eat well, to pay for my housing and to save 550 CADto my bank account for traveling every month.
I’m interested in the question of what amount in Canadian dollars can be convincing for a visa officer, so that he would be satisfied that I leave Canada at the end of my stay as a temporary resident, as provided for in paragraph 179 (b) of the IRPR, based on my personal assets and financial status?

Unfortunately 921 CAD is on the low end of the wage scale. That is the first red flag. Did you provide an SOP showing strong ties to your home country like property, family, car etc? Also, 537 CAD for 9 nights stay seems way too cheap.

Have you got any family in Canada?

No, I have no friends or relatives in Canada. In my opinion, I described the situation in great detail. I booked the hotel on an affordable booking service. The migration service has the opportunity to check the information, since I provided the booking confirmation. In my opinion, the 10,000.00 CAD is enough to live in Canada for 9 nights and come back with the fact that the plane tickets have already been paid.

Yes you may have that money in several bank accounts, but they are looking at your wage I think. $921 a month is a very low wage in Canada. They are looking at this and wanting you to prove you are coming back, as the earning potential is much higher in Canada, so what is stopping you from staying and working illegally. A lot of people have done this, so it's not a new phenomenon. Flights and hotel bookings will help, but at the end of the day, do not prove you will come back. You need to show real reasons why you have to come back. Get a letter from your boss showing leave of absence and when you are expected to come back. If you have property and a car and family, show them this too. Unfortunately, with that wage you have to be really convincing now.

I provided a certificate from the place of work, where it is written that I am on vacation for the time of my departure. In addition to a certificate from work, I provided my student ID card which confirms the fact that I am studying in addition to work.

Ok letter from work was good, Student ID not so good. Being a student is only temporary so does not prove real ties. AS I said above, if you have property, car, rent agreement etc, you need to show them. Please don't take offence, but your wage is letting your application down I think. You need to convince them you will go back, currently you are not.

I have a property. How that I need to show that would prove the fact of my return. I really do not want to stay in Canada longer than indicated in my visa application.

It's not me you have to convince, it is the officer dealing with your application. Showing the things i have mentioned in my previous posts will strengthen your application. If you feel it is unnecessary, by all means don't include the evidence, but if its not there you will likely get rejected like the first time. We know this due to the experience other people on the forum have had.

Probably a bad idea to get sample letter, as it may lead to copy/paste error. Things that they should show is property, jobs, family (more than in Canada), finances, car etc
