TRV Declined: depressed

[mercedesgl2010]

My aunt applied for a visitors visa today at the Ghanaian Embassy and got declined. I was really looking forward to her comming. The reject reasons were lack of travel history(she had travelled extensively in the past but did not attach her old passports, so i blame her) Her employment status(She is employed as a catering officer for a school) and they said her finanacial status The VSO stated that they were not satisfied that she had sufficient funds for the trip. I stated that we would foot the bill She was leaving behinde her kids and grandkids for a 6 week holiday. The upsetting part is i have a friend whose husband is on a student visa, she is unemployed and pregnant they were able to put $10k in their bank account and the girls mother got a visa.
I give up

You aunt definitely should have included copies of her old passports if she has travelled extensively. Is there a reason she didn't do this or was it just a mistake on her part?

What evidence did she include to prove she is employed?

What evidence did she include to prove that you have the funds to support her stay in Canada?

Did she show proof of any other assets (e.g. properties owned, assets held)?

She did show a letter from her employer confirming how long she had worked with the company and that she was taking her vacation, she included her own bank statement that just showed her salary going in and out of the account(though not much) and she included her husbands bank statement which is quite healthy. She didnt include her old passport because she didnt know it was required. I did state in my invite that i would be supporting her travel. I am so dejected that am not too sure if I want to go through the process again
