My name is shiva and I am 31 and single. I live in Iran and recently I got my refusal letter for a visitor visa from Canada.
I work in a company which represents an international brand. I have a high position and I provided 6 payslips with high payments. I have recently had a promotion which is shown in my payslip. I had a letter that said I have 2 weeks off from my company to visit Canada and I must come back after these days.
My bank account is good enough but I do not own any house or property and I live with my parents. All my family (parents and siblings) live in Iran and I said this in my cover letter.
My travel history was good enough and two years ago I had a Schengen Visa. My invitation letter was from my cousin who is married to a Canadian. They said in that letter that they will be my host for 2 weeks and they have been advised and verily believe that my financial status is such that I am comfortably able to pay my expenses without any assistance and verily believe that I will not overstay.
My rejection reasons are:
- Family ties in Canada and in Iran
- Purpose of visit
My question is why I got rejected and what can I do about it?
