hi, I m just curious to know about refusal reason behind " purpose of visit "

what does it cover?

The 'purpose of visit/ purpose of travel' talks about uploading itinerary, flight tickets etc.. so even after providing such stuffs what is the refusal all about?

or are they looking for a detailed letter where we are supposed to talk about our purpose of visiting canada, and stuffs like that?

i am for real confused, please share if you have idea about this?

Thank you.
 
2nd point they looking for detailed letter ......why you want to go canada.....what where when..

BTW PURPOSE OF VISIT just the heading.....sub categories of refusals depends case to case..

Thanks

Thanks

but my brother application was rejected only because of "purpose of visit" and nothing else ticked on the refusal letter,,, and we didn't include any letter there, just itinerary and flight ticket and hotel booking, let me know what you think,?

do you think that re applying again with a strong letter is a great thing to do? thanks

also do you think that not writing a purpose letter and talking about our plans is the real reason for rejection? what do you suggest? what's on your mind? how you take this refusal?

coz i have seen refusal coz of family ties, no money, but only because of purpose of visit is a kind of rare thing I am experiencing at this moment...

You are looking at the reasons too narrowly. They don't map neatly on to individual document checklist requirements.

If the officer thinks that the applicant has a romantic interest in someone living in Canada, he or she will get routinely rejected for "purpose of visit" reasons (with other reasons added as well if applicable). It would typically be based less in that case on the explicitly stated purpose of visit than on what the officer thinks is the implied and real purpose of visit.

That's just an example. In the case at hand, the officer isn't interested in whether a hotel is booked per se, he or she is interested in why the applicant is coming to Canada in the first place. Just here to see the sights? That might be plausible if the applicant has already been to 10 other countries to see the sights. I don't know the particulars here but if someone's first trip out of Asia was to play tourist in Canada it'd be a little odd... Canada isn't at the top of most people's lists who aren't from the Americas or Europe. Not to say that there wouldn't be a good reason, but that would need to be clearly and convincingly explained.
 
Hello I need some help my passport has come back but with visa denied giving me 3 reasons, travel history, purpose of visit, assets and finance assurance
 
Canada tourist visa refusal based on based on your immigration status and based on the purpose of your visit. I am in US on a Student Visa Since August 2015 for Undergrad.Can anybody suggest how to overcome this refusal and also my US expires in May 2020. I didn't submit any school documents other than my name of college, which I simply typed.

Hi there for the Purpose of Visit what I did was just wrote a letter addressed to whoever you want to invite for a visit here in Canada. stating the reason why you would like to invite them, your plans of bringing them here like where you want to visit places in Canada.And also indicating where the visitors will stay etc. For my situation, I was able to convince the Visa officer without showing any flight tickets or hotel bookings as indicated in the Purposed of visit.
Hope it helps!
