TRV rejected

Applying for GCMS notes may give you a better idea how to proceed. Do a search on forum and you will find good advice on applying for the notes.

Most often it is lack if strong ties to home country, poor financial/limited property ownership, lack of spouse/dependent children back home, full time well paying job, good travel history (pref travel for pleasure rather than work purposes), reasons for trip poorly presented, strong attachment to people in Canada, whew ...
Hope this helps.
