Study permit rejected: Family ties

[khalid9123]

I applied for a Study permit on October 14th. My upfront medical was updated on November 3rd, but unfortunately, my visa application was rejected on November 6th.

Reasons given:
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.
• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

In my SOP, I mentioned my wife and daughter, who will be staying in our home country. My wife is a doctor here. Gave all the supporting documents regarding family, marriage certificate, her employment docs. What can one do more to prove "significant family ties"? And any good resources online I can follow? Or because of the housing crisis or file backlog, they are rejecting through AI?

You’ve only budgeted $14000 a year for living costs . # 1- you need to do research on ACTUAL living expenses in Canada , then # 2- get more money

Even if you shared a place at $1000/month. That leaves you with only $2000 for everything else in a year . Groceries etc . You’d basically be destitute. You must realize how expensive Canada is . It’s astronomically expensive.
I took a year off from work in Toronto . My rent $2000/month. With expenses I used $45000.00. And I am frugal
And this was pre covid. And I know where to shop for cheaper things .

They'll go to food banks like the Indian youtubers

Confirmed in another thread that it's a private university. Don't know which one but that may be a big part of the problem. Doesn't make sense to pay so much money, come all the way over here, and be separated from your family for a poor level of education.
